<p>[QUOTE=&quot;davidh, post: 2148775, member: 15062&quot;]How do mis-struck coins and other obvious errors get out of the mint and into the hands of collectors (dealers)?&nbsp; Especially something like the one below.&nbsp; Shouldn&#039;t the Mint&#039;s packaging operations catch these?&nbsp; They certainly can&#039;t be rolled.&nbsp; I suppose that if they go into bags and then to banks they&#039;d be caught by the bank staff.&nbsp; What is the responsibility of banks at that point?&nbsp; Sell them to a customer, or return them to the Fed?&nbsp; I sense some double-dealing along the way because I&#039;ve asked error dealers where they get their stock and they only say they get them from people who find them.&nbsp; It seems strange that the average person who comes across something like this would actively seek out an error dealer, rather than just keep them.&nbsp; I think the dealers must have a source somewhere between the mint and the general population.</p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/attachments/image-jpg.349983/" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
