<p>[QUOTE=&quot;taxisteve929, post: 2048974, member: 34222&quot;]Thanks again. Been up for 56 hours and hitting the hay. Seeing double so not good for checking die varieties and errors, but looking forward to reading that article tomorrow. One day will get a decent camera set up, but until then, will try to get multiple angles I see some people do if anything odd comes up. I thought the English coin was definitely fabricated, but have now had 2 tell me it was a fragment piece that wound up causing this. I forget the exact words, but both believed the value to be about 1/4 of the asking price. I think I&#039;ll bid it for ha ha&#039;s...the thing with non-US coins, be it errors or die varieties, it doesn&#039;t seem most other countries are as obsessed with them. I noticed that errors and die variety collecting in the UK is starting to build, but nothing like here. I&#039;ve owned plenty of major oddball George II and III Irish and English error coins, some obviously made while the mint workers were having fun, but most legit, and the prices were much lower than I would pay for a US coin with the same errors. Maybe it&#039;s because their numismatic history dates so much further back, and with a smaller population, the supply/demand ratio is much different than here? Good night![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
