TSmith3510 Valued Member United States 455 Posts	Posted 12/21/2006 3:33 pm Errorcoins, I'm not very knowledgeable regarding errorcoins. These pieces are amazing, kind of makes me wonder how they got out of the mint like that. Are these circulation finds? TS Report this Post to the Staff
Errorcoins Member United States 703 Posts	Posted 12/21/2006 3:47 pm These are all from ebay and all are real. Coins like this don't get out of the mint anymore. They did before the year 2002. This can happen from a Indent Broadstrike or a Brokerage Broadstrike or a Double Struck / Indent or brokerage These would never be found in circulation.

Morgan Fred Rest in Peace United States 2684 Posts	Posted 12/21/2006 8:33 pm EC, what happened in 2002 so that coins such as these no longer make it out of the Mint? I might guess some sort of scanner sorter? Fred Report this Post to the Staff
Errorcoins Member United States 703 Posts	Posted 12/21/2006 8:42 pm Morgan, All sorts of things... This is all from memory without any research so correct me if I'm wrong on any of this..... Mint put in new presses making many types of errors almost non-existent. They put in sorters both optical and mechanical to take out bad copies of a coin. They cracked down on mint employees who snuck with out real and / or fantasy errors. They told coin rolling companies that they had to return the errors or lose the contract. ................... Major errors from 2002 on are almost non-existant and when and if they show up they commmand a very heavy premium. That is the main reason I think error coins like the Speared Bison, Wisonson up down low sidewise leafs, and the double dies are expensive. It's the mint's doing by limting major errors.....

Is that the one with Jason Robards and Lawrence, Kansas? It got a lot of press at the time of its initial release (1970s?) for its potential accuracy and realism. Good doomsday movie.

Guido Valued Member United States 390 Posts	Posted 12/21/2006 11:39 pm I was going to say you don't have to get mad at a poor old coin and stomp them so hard, but never mind. So how do you put a value on these coins? They must be worth a lot. And what are these ones you showed us worth? Report this Post to the Staff

That's the one. I remember seeing it when it first came out too. I was just entering high school. And it gave me a GOOD scare! First time I've seen it since. Still gives me a scare, especially with Kim playing with his new toys!! Report this Post to the Staff
