[QUOTE="LostDutchman, post: 1319485, member: 16994"]Many many genuine errors have defects on both sides... below is an example I found in less then a minute on EBay. Is this post mint damage? Definitely not. [ATTACH]149599.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]149600.vB[/ATTACH] And another... [ATTACH]149601.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]149602.vB[/ATTACH] Are their cases where genuine errors are one sided... sure. But to make the statement "[B][I][SIZE=1]damage on one side and you look at the other side and it is damaged also then you can rest assured in most cases it is post mint damage"[/SIZE][/I][/B] This simply isn't true. Just as much at the statement "[B][I][SIZE=1]If you find a unusal looking coin on one side and the other side is absolutely undamaged this means that the coin was mostlikely still resting on a die then you may have found a real mint made error coin"[/SIZE][/I][/B] Isn't true nearly enough times to make that statement either. I have seen a hundred vice jobs like DT made earlier in this thread that were definitely man made with absolutely NO defect on the opposing side.[/QUOTE]
