What I found is as you might expect.....a lot of trash such as 1996 P quarter with rare long E error and 1997 P dime with off-center, clipped rare error (parking lot coin). But 2 listings I thought I'd share....(I don't think either are deliberately trying to mislead people.)

This next one I found a little disconcerting as the seller states that they are a member of ANA and CONECA, yet list errors and varieties as "Die breaks, die cracks,cuds, trail lines, grease die, missing designer initials number or letter, blogs, annealing, clogged numbers in dates, lamination cracks, collar breaks". I do see 2 potentially real errors in the lousy pictures. How many do you see?

The last one has me scratching my head. I only see one coin with a Clipped Planchet. The others look normal.

It's not like there is a test to join those clubs.

I see a possible double clipped Wheat cent, and another mangled Lincoln that probably isn't a clip. No errors on the rest, unless you count that 0.05% misaligned die quarter that is definitely within Mint tolerances.

I see a possible off-center cent near the bottom of the pic but so not see anything off center in the second pic. Might just be a misaligned die. Everything else must be chips and/or minor cracks. But what is a blog error?

Adding a pic from that second auction so that folks can continue to learn after the auction comes down.

You're right to be concerned!

I wouldn't buy either lot.

I don't believe anything for sale on the internet that I can't see in detail.

I assume people that don't align their coins the right way up are deliberately intending to deceive.
