TheFonz559: to the CCF!

If it is riches that you are looking for, it lessens your chances of really appreciating numismatics for what it stands for.

Yeah, we really do need some pics of both sides.

In all of my coin collecting (numismatic?) life of many decades, I have managed to obtain only one genuine obviously low weight error.
And that was a deliberate mint sport British Penny produced in 1967, in protest when The Royal Mint was relocated from London to Llanstisant in Wales.

Per the CCF rules, please use complete text, not instant message lingo.

There are many reasons a coin can be underweight, most of the time due to deliberate damage, like grinding or being soaked in acid.

Furthermore, even an underweight coin, while an interesting error with some value, would never be worth a fortune. The proliferation of hysterical Youtube videos have exaggerated the value of errors in general.

I am guessing that very few errors are worth more than $100; these would be the spectacular looking ones or the exceedingly rare ones. Many are $10 and less.
