[QUOTE="-jeffB, post: 4769984, member: 27832"]To make myself perfectly clear (I hope), I don't think anyone currently in possession of these coins has done anything legally or ethically questionable, and I don't find it objectionable that they're up for sale. I [I]do[/I] find it surprising that they're more highly valued than [I]actual accidental[/I] errors, given that these [I]must[/I] have been made intentionally. To me, since they've been pronounced legal to own, they're... [I]novelties[/I], I guess. I see them in much the same light as Daniel Carr's overstrikes (which I have collected myself); collectible, but not in the same class as "real errors". This is probably a good time for a disclaimer, again: I'm [I]not[/I] an error collector or expert. I'm interested in errors because of what they teach us about production methods and materials, and because some of them look cool. But I don't think of my opinions on the error [I]market[/I] as well-informed, and don't mean for them to sway others. Sometimes they just escape before I can catch them. :rolleyes:[/QUOTE]
