Hey all, I personally expanding my CRH skills and educating myself about coin errors. What better way to learn than to actually look for errors? Soon I will be picking up a copy of the Cherry Pickers Guide, but in the mean time I've been using online sites as best I can. I thought I'd start a thread so others can share their own links as well. I saw a few threads here on CCF for specific coins but not one too recent or to cover all US coins (Forgive me if I missed something, I am known as a horrible Forum User when it comes to finding things with the search option). So I guess I'll start: I think every one knows about the Lincoln Cent Errors Page: http://www.lincolncentresource.com/..._Errors.htmlThis was my first site I used, because pennies were the first coins I started CRHing with. http://koinpro.tripod.com/ErrorVarietyList.htmIs a huge list of error coins, but not very many pics. I like this page too, but for a new coin collector, it took me a little while to start to fully understand everything that is listed. http://minterrornews.com/fw_pricelist.pdfLast site I came across recently off a random google search. A price list for a private collection. I've been ignoring the price and just looking at what was listed. Anyways, hope that gets the ball rolling! *** Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. *** |

If he's getting a Cherry Pickers Guide he's probably interested in varieties,still there are some error sites listed. |

@All: I was mostly interested in errors, but yes, I was getting the Cherry Pickers Guide for varieties. I am personally more interested in error coins for my personal collection... but if I run across a few nice varieties I'm not against the idea of knowing what I've got to sell the coin. =) |

Well, then I think the best error sites are posted. We also have the top error expert (Mike Diamond) as a member...and the top variety expert (Coppercoins) as well.

I imagine that Mr. Weinberg has forgotten more about errors then Mr. Diamond has ever known. The top variety expert? Nothing against Coppercoins but Wexler and Wiles are probably closer to the top of the list. |

I do know Mr.Wiles but I have heard of Mr.Weinberg and recommend Mr.Wexler's site second to coppercoins.com.These experts do not wisit this site to help us Mr Diamond and Mr.Daughtrey do, and that makes them number one in my opinion.

Just because someone posts on these message boards does not make them the top expert in their field of study. To proclaim such is just foolish and shows lack of creditability. You might call them the "Resident Expert" but to say they are the "Top Expert" is just wrong, misleading and an erroneous statement. Give credit where credit is due. If the US Mint has a question about an error coin, who do they consult with? I believe you will find it is Mr. Weinberg. There is a saying up here in Maine, "If your cat has kittens in the oven you don't call them biscuits, do you?" |

taclough...you have your opinion...we have ours and hijacking a thread for your own agenda doesn't show much credibility on your part either |

The OP started a thread about "Sharing Error Sources". Some misinformation was given on who the top expert(s) were in the field of errors and varieties. If erroneous statements are not corrected some members might start believe that they are true.  If Mr. Diamond or Mr. Daughtrey believe or think they are the "Top Expert(s)" in the fields of error and varieties, then let them respond and say so.  Maineman 750 - As far as credibility goes, I guess some are not big enough to admit when they are wrong. Edited by taclough
