[QUOTE="19Lyds, post: 1233636, member: 15929"]Was I rude? Sorry if it appeared that way but please try to understand that a lot of different folks come across coins like this which they either find or, unfortunately, buy and then ask if they are errors after the fact. And its always the same questions wrapped around the same statements and coins: "I have an error coin........", "Is my error coin..........", "Is this an error..........." To seasoned forum posters, it can get a bit comical without necessarily considering the source of the post which may or may not be a serious individual. We've seen some real crazies walk through the door like the fella that had a flip over double struck Canadian Cent he was asking $12,000,000 for. Everybody has to start somewhere and with the downed economy and all, coins seems to be a good starting point as folks ponder the contents of their pocket change wondering how in the heck they are going to pay the power bills or rent or car payment. It's understandable when they actually "look" at coins and begin to see "differences" and then start considering the possibilities. Every once in awhile though, someone does come up with a super find. Unfortunately, your's do not appear that way and look just like every other "gotcha" coin thats been posted. The smart thing to do is to, as suggested, do some reading before commiting funds and realize it's totally possible that "Joe Blow" down at the local flea was here just before you asking the same question and getting the same answer which he chose "not to believe", so he sold the coin to some unsuspecting buyer. Hopefully, you'll continue to look and come back with your finds and questions.[/QUOTE]
