[QUOTE="JCro57, post: 3447398, member: 92083"]Honestly, CT should have permanent threads at the top of the Error page (like it does for 2 headed coins) with different categories of damage and very minor die varieties and errors. Coins deemed to be damaged should be removed and placed in those threads. It should also do the same for very minor errors and die varieties. One for Environmental Damage. Another for Minor Grease Filled Dies. Another for Repunched Mintmarks. Another for Close/Wide AM cents and no FG coins. Another for Die Cracks. Another for Large/Small Dates. This would help unclog the error section and other sections littered with damaged coins and worthless die varieties. Coins with multiple errors/varieties would stay in the regular listings. The only problem I guess is sometimes people are wrong when stating what is wrong with a coin. Even us experts misattribute things once in a while. But then they could be placed back in the regular error thread, right? But there could still be disagreement. For example, look at this coin. Is this an error? If so, what is it? A rolled thin planet? A weak/die adjustment strike? A split planchet before strike? Grease filled die? Circulation wear? Damage? [ATTACH=full]915352[/ATTACH] Anyway, it's just a thought....[/QUOTE]
