<p>[QUOTE="KBBPLL, post: 25488604, member: 104064"]A human error is still a mint error. Some are just not that special, like grease. What about letting a screw or bits of plastic get into the coin press? Or not noticing when the blanking machine bangs off the end of the sheet or nobody noticed something is out of alignment? You really start stretching the definition when you start trying to say it's a true "mint error" because a human didn't cause it. People pay attention when somebody gives something a catchy moniker like "In God We Rust" or the Bugs Bunny halves or the Spiked Eagle or whatever. The TPGs don't make that stuff up, collectors do. </p><p><br /></p><p>Here's a greaser I found and kept because I think it looks cool. A TPG would probably designate it just to say what it is, because that's what it is. I wouldn't pay them to call it an error, because I don't care, I know what it is. Maybe somebody else would really want that on the slab. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1631807[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
