<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Troodon, post: 213027, member: 4626&quot;]It was the Mint&#039;s official position that it was a die error, but there is a significant number of people that believe it was a deliberate act by someone.&nbsp; Random die scratches or chips would not look exactly like a leaf... it seems likely to me the Mint stuck to their official story because they weren&#039;t able to find out who altered the die.&nbsp; Would have to disagree that &quot;most thought it was a die error.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m not sure how classic this error will be, only time will tell.&nbsp; However it doesn&#039;t seem as dramatic as the 3 legged buffalo or the 55 DD, nor does it seem especially rare as far as errors usually go; add to that the fact it is pretty easily faked and I don&#039;t think this will generate nearly as much excitement.&nbsp; After they hype is over and the dust settles I imagine the price will likely go down... it doesn&#039;t matter how rare an error is if not enough people who collect errors care much.&nbsp; Most of the hype is coming from people who aren&#039;t even collectors and seems to be more of the &quot;wow, I found something that is worth a lot&quot; rather than &quot;wow, what an interesting and rare error.&quot;&nbsp; There&#039;s only so long that kind of hype can keep the price up.</p><p><br /></p><p>I could be wrong, but I don&#039;t think this will go down as a famous or classic error.&nbsp; It&#039;s just too common.&nbsp; Might be worth getting one by searching unopened rolls, but I think its current price will drop if anything once the hype dies down.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
