<p>[QUOTE=&quot;beef1020, post: 3101109, member: 24544&quot;]A lot of these sentiments in this thread which I want to address.&nbsp; I agree 100% with the idea, we all collect how we want.&nbsp; There are no rules, this applies even more in ancients and was a huge draw for me.&nbsp; My question and issue is more about why the interest stops at these minor DDOs?</p><p><br /></p><p>If you stopped at the large, major DDOs I would get that.&nbsp; They are dramatic, rare, and legitimate errors in the sense that the mint should have found and stopped them from entering circulation.&nbsp; But these minor DDOs are basically just die markers for a specific die.&nbsp; If these are interesting, then why not extend into all LMC varieties, why no interest in any other die diagnostic except these minor DDOs.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>There are whole portions of this hobby that specialize in die variety collecting, i.e. shelodon, newcomb, overton, VAM, but with LMCs there is an intense focus on minor DDOs.&nbsp; It just seems odd to me because it doesn&#039;t match the regular interest pattern from other areas of numismatics.&nbsp; That&#039;s not to say it&#039;s wrong, I just don&#039;t understand where the interest is coming from.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
