<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Hobo, post: 1357766, member: 11521&quot;]To be able to distinguish a true error coin from a damaged coin you must have a good understanding of how coins are made. Appendix B of the CPG (&quot;The Minting Process&quot;) does a pretty good job. A book available from ANA (&#039;The Modern Minting Process &amp; US Minting Errors &amp; Varieties&#039; by Dr. James Wiles does an even better job. </p><p><br /></p><p>Once you understand how coins are made you should have a good understanding of how errors occur (and how other coins are damaged because the anomaly simply could not have occurred during the minting process). You will also understand how varieties occur and you will have a better understanding of the difference between a variety and an error.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
