Altaira Pillar of the Community Canada 2519 Posts	Posted 12/14/2014 12:01 am Are PL errors legit or inside jobs? I think I read something about PL coins manufactured like proofs, a person picking them off the dies with gloves. I'm not sure if that's right or not though. Report this Post to the Staff
sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 12/14/2014 12:21 am SlurExe97 is right. The Mint employees SHOULD have picked this one, and removed it. I don't think that this one is an example of tomfoolery by Mint employees; more of an example of laziness in failing spot, then remove a defective coin to be included in a collector pack. More to the good for you! It is a nice example of an error coin that is by innuendo, proven to be an error by the Mint itself! The enclosure in Pliofilm has seen to that.

SPP-Ottawa Moderator Canada 10458 Posts	Posted 12/14/2014 12:59 am I have several specimen and prooflike nickel dollars with clips, a nice proof 1-cent with a large Rim Fin, and a 1967 PL set with a clipped cent (photo below)... stuff does sometimes slip by... Imagine what fun looking inside the "discard" bin would have been?
