<p>[QUOTE=&quot;paddyman98, post: 25220462, member: 44615&quot;]My very first Mint Error discovery.</p><p><br /></p><p>Another time in 1986, my dad came home with a bucket full of thousands of mixed US Cents. There were Wheats, memorials and steelies.</p><p><br /></p><p>This one caught my attention. Since I knew absolutely nothing about Mint Errors I put it aside together with some other anomalies. Many were just damaged or altered.</p><p>I had labeled it.. the Crater Cent</p><p>But it was truly special because later I learned of the description of a Planchet Error called a Lamination <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie100" alt=":wideyed:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Many years later I sent it to NGC and also received a Details grade. Since I didn&#039;t know proper coin handling I had cleaned it with Ajax when I had discovered the Cent <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie103" alt=":yack:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1606896[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1606897[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1606898[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>So how did my dad acquire all these coins from? He was a mantinance worker in a building full of retired and wealthy tenants. Anytime they would pass away many of these personal belongings were discarded. He would save items such as the many coins for me to keep.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
