Is it just me or is the Modern Error and Variety section the busiest forum on the website?

Agreed, fun to see the errors people find and it's educational for beginners such as myself ; )

I haven't looked there but I think I can give a couple reasons for the high activity:
-- if there's ANYTHING out of the ordinary with a modern coin many people immediately think error or variety (and hope for big bucks); many are PMD
-- but in fact there DOES appear to be a large number of errors or varieties on modern coins BUT many are of the "fly speck" type (takes a 10x loupe or more to see the variation)

Is there a catalog listing ALL identified errors and varieties WITH a value assigned?
If so, are those coins selling?

This will be a learning opportunity for me.

True. I am constantly moving these posts to this sub-forum because this is where the V/E experts spend most of their time.
