The paint would have ruined the numismatic value if any existed in the first place.. What errors are you seeing?

The paint doesn't match up to the coin. On new jersey it makes the 1999 appear 19999 and the paint on the date on new york is off too.

Any paint errors are just that,paint errors. These coins were not painted by the U.S. mint,they were painted after leaving the mint by some company ruining the coins for collectors. Value,face value. John 1  |

as said before, paint errors are not coin errors. So, if you like the coins, then keep them. They only cost you 25 cents |

Here is an example of a real error, this one is on a 2009-S Northern Mariana Islands silver proof quarter. Mike Diamond examined the coin and judged it the result of a mishap during final mirror field polishing. This view is of the AT in STATES on the OBV. What you see is a raised crescent and narrowing of the lettering caused by the fact that too much metal was removed from the OBV die. A fair amount of metal was improperly removed, going about half way through the depth of the lettering. I first posted about this coin in 2010 and Mr. Diamond did a write-up of it on page 74 of the February 14th, 2011 issue of Coin World. Since then I have not seen or heard of another one like it.  Before you ask, here is the setup that I used to get that image: A Canon EOS Rebel T4i coupled to a reversed Canon FD 35-105mm F3.5 lens and a Neewer 14EXT macro flash ring. I used the lens hood as en extension tube.  Edited by clairhardesty

I like to use the old Canon FD lens for extreme close-ups because it has really good glass resulting in really sharp images. It is difficult to use because it lacks the auto-focus, auto-aperture, and image stabilizer of the newer EF-S lenses but it outperforms them in image quality once you get it setup properly. The macro flash ring is a recent purchase and I am very happy with it.

Errors are when a coin is produced with that error. Someone painting an extra 9 is error prone and should not be doing this job for a living.
