So the problem is that new collectors think that those issues are automatically errors or varieties. It is a reoccurring issue here on CoinTalk that will never end. Like Chris said.. First learn how coins are made and you will be able to see a damaged coin and know very well that the PMD happened after it left the mint. Many are common sense but people are so desperate to find an error that they don&#039;t stop to think about it. Also, Learn what the already <u>established</u> mint errors and varieties are then familiarize yourself with them. Then you will save lots of time for yourself and for us... For example. I started 34 years ago. I didn&#039;t have CoinTalk nor the internet back then. I went to the books and magazines and patiently studied. I can tell what a mint error is or even PMD without even seeing the coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
