[QUOTE="AussieCollector, post: 4497125, member: 81093"]I've read this thread with interest. As someone foreign to the US, I must admit I have never understood the fascination with mint errors, or why they would be considered so valuable (give me an ancient coin valued the same as some sort of rare mint error any day of week). My read of the discussion (and not sure if this is helpful, but here goes), is that the sticking point for both sides is that they believe it is incumbent on the other side to prove their side. Unless someone moves from this position, this will continue to go nowhere. And perhaps we're all ok with that given the volume of discussion that has already occurred. Just my 2 cents. Cheers AC (P.S. - welcome to CT [USER=94290]@Lil ol' me[/USER], I hope you stick around, as CT is an amazing community for coin lovers. We are passionate, but it's all in good faith and in the pursuit of information exchange and knowledge)[/QUOTE]
