okiecoiner Pillar of the Community Canada 5589 Posts	Posted 07/04/2018 12:40 pm Just so some of us don't have to keep ID'ing the same type "error" and sometimes listing references, here are some references to keep in your pocket. Wexler's guides/info is copyrighted, so be prudent on how it's used .. but it's available on-line. Just don't use this as part of your own writings: http://doubleddie.com/58222.html http://doubleddie.com/144822.html http://doubleddie.com/144843.html http://doubleddie.com/58327.html http://doubleddie.com/144801.html If all of you reading this thread don't save those links, then you deserve to get burned on ebay or your LCS.

john100 Pillar of the Community Canada 5324 Posts	Posted 07/04/2018 3:30 pm Errors are quite simple to price, if they don't have the immediate wow factor, eye appeal they are worth very little and hard to move, imagine using 10x 50x just to see some doubling or clash. Most modern coins are made on presses going 200 or more a minute, they just have to meet minimum standards, just like if they were producing washers, if you magnify anything large enough you will eventually see some variance Report this Post to the Staff
okiecoiner Pillar of the Community Canada 5589 Posts	Posted 07/04/2018 5:37 pm I have been an avid collector/hoarder of Vicky large cent varieties. What I collect can be easily seen by eye and no more than a 6/8X loupe. I, too, pay no attention to stuff that is magnified 40 times to see it. Coins were utilitarian, every-day objects to be used just like nails, barbed wire, or bottle caps. The "specs" were quite quite liberal ... if it was round, weighed about enough and you could see it was xx cents, then it was OK. Now, things that were changed during the mintage year by the mintmaster are an entirely different thing ... dies not right?, then fix it. New portrait, then add it. Use the dies until they break and only change one die at a time! I love varieties! Report this Post to the Staff
