    Looking for the best answer from the best people.

    How do you know when you have a good error coin?
    Where and what do you do with it, once you know it’s a good error coin?

    Just know this...
    Not everything that looks different or strange is a Mint Error. Don't assume it's a Mint Error. Most issues are just PMD - Post Mint Damage. Ask first and you will learn little by little.
    Also.. A lot of true mint errors have very little or no premiums at all. Don't think you will become super rich when you find a misaligned die strike, die cracks or small die chips.

    Only mint errors that are considered major errors are worth sending for attribution. Others you can just stick in a 2x2 coin flip and save them.

    Is the author Stan McDonald?
    Not the best book for errors but it's a start.
    He shows a lot of varieties. There is a difference between mint errors and varieties.
    https://www.ngccoin.com/news/article/1655/Variety-versus-Mint-Error/
    His book has some confusing and wrong terminology at times.
