DL20K Pillar of the Community Poland 3201 Posts	Posted 04/06/2017 12:05 pm Here's a 2017 1 grosz with two horizontal lines on the reverse, the lower ones goes from one edge to the other - while the one that's higher ends in the middle of the field. The lines appear raised and are visible to the naked eye. There is another minor error on the obverse, where two letters are barely visible, perhaps the coin was struck through something. Anyway, this is free to anyone who collects worthless worldwide error coins - just post here. To confirm (or at least make it more probable) that you collect such coins, post a photo of a worldwide error coin from your collection with a piece of paper that says "CCF" somewhere beside the coin. If there are more takers, there will be a draw, in at least 3 days' time. If there are none, back to circulation it goes, though since it may be of interest to someone I thought I'd offer it here. I did my best to describe this coin accruately but if the assumptions in my description prove to be false, I'll return your payment in full Report this Post to the Staff

We do search through them looking fro errors, but have found none yet. Whilse she doesn't collect Errors(Not gonna lie) specifically she would be happy to add an error coin to the collection. If possible can you add us to the list? Thanks...Mont Report this Post to the Staff

DL20K Pillar of the Community Poland 3201 Posts	Posted 04/07/2017 04:24 am OK then, since there are some entries, the draw will be held on Sunday local time (barring any unexpected events such as no Internet connection - in that case, as soon as possible after that). Though I must say that technically, I should disqualify all entries. The idea was to post your error coin beside (or on) an actual piece of paper that says CCF. You know, anyone can copy an auction image of the 1804 dollar, add text in MS Paint (or other simple software) and "claim" it's theirs. Similarly, copy an image of the 1804 dollar, take a separate photo of a piece of paper and combine the images in MS Paint. On the other hand, a photo of the 1804 dollar on a post-it-note with CCF written all around it - that would be something much more difficult to find by googling, wouldn't it? Of course, such image can also be faked using more advanced software but it's better than nothing: not only is such an image difficult to find, some people seem to know a lot about lighting and taking photos of coins and may thus call out such a doctored image. Anyway, as the main goal is to save this particular coin from circulation, not to prove beyond any doubt that you have an error collection, and the value of the coin is close to nothing, all entries stand.
