Tanman2001 Pillar of the Community United States 4407 Posts	Posted 02/18/2018 6:01 pm There's nothing specific that makes a variety a "Best Of" or not, John Wexler just labels what he believes are the Best varieties as a "Best Of". Report this Post to the Staff

Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 02/18/2018 6:29 pm Another great example of arbitrary labeling by one or another "expert". No real standard has been set so my point again, why the disparity between arbitrary values of so-called "error" coins? Is there really a true niche within numismatics for mega-dollar "spike heads" or fancy "BIE" die degradation inflated value of what is normal metal machining production outcomes? There is where I differ from the masses with "error coin values" and contend it is only a relatively current fad kept in perpetuity by some for self aggrandizement and profit. Sorry if you need to look up a few words...my bed has only one side to get out of... Edited by Crazyb0 02/18/2018 6:32 pm Report this Post to the Staff
