<p>[QUOTE="1865King, post: 4598385, member: 103207"]Most of these errors are fairly common errors. More than likely came out of mint sealed bags. I remember reading somewhere that mint sealed bags were shipped to and outside company that would put them into bank rolls. The employees would pull these type of error coins and set them a side for them self. Keep in mind you will never see a mint sealed bag being dropped off at a bank. Companies like Brinks rolls them and then bring them to the banks. I think a few years ago they made a change in the process that made it less likely for the coins to get into the mint sealed bags but, it still can happen. As a final note if a mint employee was to get caught taking coins out of the mint they will be looking a serious jail time. An ex employee got 10 years in federal prison for making and taking error coins out of the mint.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
