<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Troodon, post: 141916, member: 4626&quot;]They are worth that much money because some people are willing to pay it.&nbsp; Proves that people will buy anything, lol.&nbsp; I guess technically you could call it post-strike mint damage, although since the mint did it intentionally it doesn&#039;t count as an error.&nbsp; In fact it&#039;s done specifically to make sure error coins get destroyed and not released into circulation.&nbsp; Personally I don&#039;t have a fondness to collect scrap metal, but to each his own... I&#039;m not even a very huge fan of legitimate errors for that matter, and only have 3 in my collection (a blank cent planchet, off center Lincoln cent, and a capped bust half with a lettered edge error, although for the half it&#039;s not an uncommon error really).&nbsp; I never got why people get especially excited about collecting the Mint&#039;s mistakes, lol, I guess they have a certain novelty but I myself would rather spend money on coins they got right than to pay a significant premium for the Mint&#039;s goof-ups.&nbsp; I certainly wouldn&#039;t pay for a piece of metal which isn&#039;t even an error, certified or not (what were the TPG&#039;s thiniking certfying this stuff, anyway?!).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
