<p>[QUOTE="eddiespin, post: 3594210, member: 4920"]Let me back you up just a little, Dan. There’s an error-hysteria on this list which I have to tell you at times seems like it’s out of control. If any of it were warranted, the other coin forums would be infected with this epidemic, as well. But they’re not, not even close. That said, this is how you start. Popular on these wheat cents are mint marks that are punched over, at times. Look up RPM and get the hang of how to spot those. There’s a good error to start on, as quite a lot exist. Another is doubled dies. Just look those up. We’ll teach you as you go along. But have some sense, too, and I can’t under-stress that. If a cent looks like it was stepped on a few million times in a concrete parking lot, it probably was and unfortunately isn’t a mint error. But I’d start with those, FWIW. Good luck.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
