<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kasia, post: 2954637, member: 31533&quot;]Basically one needs to know how an uncleaned coin looks like in all circumstances and then you have to be able to spot the sometimes minute clues the cleaned coin shows and be able to recognize/say that that is &#039;not right&#039; for an uncleaned one. Just looking at examples of cleaned coins and noting the characteristics of the ones you see is not enough. You have to have much more experience with uncleaned ones to know how they look uncleaned. </p><p><br /></p><p>One needs to have a good grasp of how coins look like when they are minted, know the minting process, and then ask themselves if the &#039;error&#039; they think they are seeing could happen at the mint. Basically if everyone knew that and applied it, we would never see roadkilled cents being identified as &#039;error&#039; coins and the poster wanting to know what type of error and it&#039;s value.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
