<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ErolGarip, post: 2864958, member: 88736&quot;]I think this analogy isn&#039;t good enough. Those eight-cylinder engines are demanded because there is a logical reason about it, more power, more useful, more utilitarion. What about error coin? What error in an error coin makes it more valuable? This has been a question in my mind for centuries, well, ok, for months that&#039;s my history in this coin collecting field which I view as subjective field. </p><p><br /></p><p>What error makes an error coin more valuable? </p><p>For example. I read this somewhere on the net: &quot;... 1969-S Lincoln Cent With a Doubled-Die Obverse... This particular doubled-die coin is one of the rarest coins around. When these doubled-die error coins were first discovered, the Secret Service confiscated them. After the coins were confiscated, the U.S. mint admitted the error. Ever since, these coins have been legendary...&quot; </p><p><br /></p><p>So, if Secret Service hadn&#039;t confiscated them, if the US mint hadn&#039;t made any response about the error, then, these coins wouldn&#039;t have had been legendary error coins at all. Right? So, I see that it is not the error itself that has been making an error coin valuable. Rather, it is due to challenges between the &quot;governmental authorities&quot; including the mint people and the folks. Questioning the governmental authorities and finding their errors have been popular things among the folks all over the World in all history, but, what about the folks? Folks have not been doing any error? (Yes, I connected this too to the error in the one cent coin which the folks don&#039;t have it in their pocket. If this thread does not end up a discussion worth to be talked, still, I thank OP for this thread for questioning these here.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
