<p>[QUOTE=&quot;JCro57, post: 4624375, member: 92083&quot;]With all due respect [USER=24314]@Insider[/USER] , I am not some 2-bit coin hustler spewing ignorant information when it comes to identifying errors. Many people on here do, but that does not apply to everyone, including myself. Sure, i make mistakes sometimes. Not this time.</p><p><br /></p><p>I actually know what I am talking about here, and perhaps it is YOU who could use some practice on how to identify error types. Using CAPS and <span style="color: #ff0000">fancy colors </span><span style="color: #000000">does not make your (wrong) opinion more valid.</span></p><p><br /></p><p>Here is my similar example below. It is unequivocally parallel lines indicative of roller marks from dirty rollers which press planchet metal to their desired thickness.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1144618[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1144619[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Now let&#039;s take a look at an unplated cent certified by ICG. It is clearly a damaged zinc cent which had its copper plating stripped, likely via acid. It has ZERO characteristics of a genuine unplated example. In fact, I have seen quite a few &quot;certified&quot; unplated cents by ICG that are simply damaged coins wrongly attributed as genuine ones.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1144631[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1144632[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1144633[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Sorry, but when it comes to properly identifying errors, I have much more confidence in my own abilities than many &quot;experts&quot; at the grading companies.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
