<p>[QUOTE="Sam Stone, post: 8412353, member: 110020"]Sorry for the following 2,000 page book, but it was necessary to explain my son and myself's answer to this question. I respectfully request readers read to the end so we can get the return answers and advice we need. We're interested in seeing an actual die crack, doubled die, broad strikes, edge/rim/collar issues, clad vs. wear or other after mint imposters, and basically any other errors that are not varieties. This is something I very much enjoy but I'm also more visual than most and I've found I need to personally see these things because I can't touch, rotate, and see all rhe details in photos. We have found several different clad issues invluding black toned nickels, satin quarters, sun tainted everything, milky half dollars, exceptionally shiney, exceptionally dull, and "spooned" cents. We also have a steel cent with a "ghost" S mint mark above the D. When I posted a few photos on other forums I was told there's no such thing, proving that pictures can't capture the finest detail. When holding that coin, there can be no doubt it's there. It's perfectly proportional, exact match font, and undeniably there. I'm OK accepting it's only a novelty, but it feels like an insult when I'm told it's only paradoia.</p><p><br /></p><p>For two years now, virtually no coin has left our home. I've collected and categorized them all by denomination, date, and mint. Unfortunately, I see a lot of them that look like errors or varieties, but I'm always shot down in forums. My son inherited thousands of coins my wife's father collected over 50 years, including 20 years worth of international coins traveling the world in the navy with more than 200 countries (some no longer in existence), provinces, territories, etc. His coins span from early 19th century to the coins I've added the last few years. Probably at least 10,000 total. I will continue to add because even if the new additions will never be more valuable than face value or less, he will be able to pass the growing collection down through future generations as novelties. I can't help him with most expenses, but this little bit by little bit I can. Maybe some coins that are normal by today's standards will become a rarity of some sort in the future.</p><p><br /></p><p>I want to thank readers again for your time and patience with me and I wish you all the best.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
