[QUOTE="cpm9ball, post: 2867009, member: 24633"]No offense intended, Michele, but a lot of people who have caught the "error coin bug" tend to look too hard for something that isn't there. Sometimes they refuse to accept the explanations given to them by collectors who have been in the hobby for decades. In most cases, if these people made a concerted effort to learn more about the minting process, they would probably laugh real hard at themselves. Again, I am not implying that you are one of those people, but once you have been actively participating on these forums for a few years, you will understand what I mean. If you are referring to the marks on the right side of the obverse rim, they look like small hits to me. I don't put much faith in the R-Factors that are used. They are almost always based on guesstimates. Not all errors are unique. Unique implies that the coin is a one-of-a-kind. I found the coin below in a Mint bag in 2004. There is only one other known to exist, but that doesn't mean there aren't others laying around in some hoard. [ATTACH=full]684186[/ATTACH] I hope this helps. Chris[/QUOTE]
