So I am on an on-lone auction and it says Mint Error, so I bid a buck and win. Okay, I didn't believe it when I bid on it, I don't believe it now, but I thought it was worth hearing it from the experts.

Yup. Not a mint error. Keep it as a reminder. Hope the postage wasn't another 8-10 bucks.

Sorry, you spend more.90c for the coin and the shipping?. Next time ask here first. You have a relly damage coin which will be hard to spend (at least if you put in the meddle of the roll and brink to your bank)

A damaged coin is never worth more than face.

Just an extremely post mint damaged coin.

No added value. Just think if we could grab a roll of new pennies and put them on train tracks to be run over. Or drop the roll into lets say vinegar and leave them there for 6 months. Or take the roll and put it under your front tire of your car and just sit inside and turn the wheel to the right, then to the left, to rhe right, then to the left for 24 hours.

Then sell that roll for anything more than 50 cents, you would have a guaranteed profit on every roll. You would be able to quit your day job and make a killing damaging coins instead.

I am not trying to say anything personal to you, rather just trying to make a point about why actual mint error coins are so sought after. The general population of people are excluded from causing mint errors.

I am not sure how many mint created error coins there actually are, but If I were to guess there are probably about enough to fill one olympic size swimming pool full in all of the world. But the number of possible non-mint created errors would fill the rest of the world.

Be carefull buying damaged coins, unfortunately there are many, many, many people that try to sell their damaged coins as errors.

Happy searching and thanks for the space allowing me to share some of what I have learned.
