[QUOTE="clembo, post: 258895, member: 8033"]For starters they don't have a picture of the back of the coin. Wonder why that is? IF I were to waste my money on these errors I would wait until more came out and the price went down. In the long run I think most of these will die a silent death. Either the U.S. Mint is that inept or are purposely making mistakes on these coins to generate interest. In addition sellers are picking them apart for such slight imperfections then list it as a "new error". This off center strike sounds so trivial that I wouldn't drop more than face value for it if shipping was free. "The above coin was struck off center on the back side of the coin. As you look at the band on the outer edge of the coin, you can clearly see that band is very narrow along the top edge of the coin to the right of the torch, and it is much wider along the bottom edge of the coin." Sorry but this description made me laugh but you have to know your Monty Python to understand it. Sounds like Ann Elks theory about the Brontosaurus! In short, if you're going to buy U.S. coins buy something that is proven. Not a "maybe".[/QUOTE]
