<p>[QUOTE=&quot;RabidRick, post: 2000953, member: 37868&quot;]I agree with timing, though it&#039;s strange it happens so frequntly and ends up with artifacts like the 1913 V nickel or 1856 Flying Eagle Cent (and the 1909S IHC is a pain to get). They also seem to change the devices or lettering, like with the cents vs. no cents V nickels and VDB on the Lincolns.</p><p><br /></p><p>You can actually find proofs of pattern coinage and they can be quite expensive in most cases since they are so rare. They were always very picky about what got out there, though in the recent years they seem to have gotten lackadaisical about what they print, aside from maybe fewer error coins slipping their way out of the mint (possibly because of that guy who got busted).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
