[QUOTE="900fine, post: 295680, member: 6036"]I think most [B]Modern Errors[/B] are WAY overrated. To me, they have little numismatic value and no historical value. They have great [B]educational potential [/B]in that they could be used to illustrate the minting process. But that potential is rarely realized because the reason they are of interest is the "something for nothing" mindset - "I just found a great rarity in a roll of Prez dollars.". Don't get me wrong - I'm not dissing roll-searchers who are looking for key dates, or making a set from circulation. That's all cool. But I just can't get excited about these modern Prez dollars with smooth edges. I think it also shows the worst aspects of E-Bay and TPGs, kinda like the First Strike thing. An artificial attempt to "invent scarcity" where none really exists. An artificial market.[/QUOTE]
