Beeston1990 Valued Member United Kingdom 109 Posts	Posted 02/27/2016 12:15 pm Please discuss! I collect 50ps and so have many UK error 50ps (and other types too) in my collection.. whilst it's great from my perspective that I can buy some fantastic errors at a fraction of the price of US + AU coins, I do wonder why that is the case?

The fewer the errors the better the price. The greater the buying power of the collectors the higher the price. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/27/2016 2:23 pm Some countries a not as alert to preventing errors. The U.S. Mint tried to avoid errors and thus when they do get out they are more in demand. Certain errors are more interesting than others and usually have a higher price for these. Hope this helps.

The correlation between rarity and value compared to anywhere else is completely out of whack. But it is what it is; it's what the market bares. Report this Post to the Staff
