Seems that many BM stores owners / employees think that the only major mint error coins are coins like the 3 legged buffalo or the 1955 double die.
It is ok that they have no clue whatsoever.
My limited experience with BM stores owners / employees don't know, understand or care about mint errors or varieties.
Well, where do I start?
First, you need to find a new coin store that does understand what you love or…..cherry-pick the hell out of the local yokels that do not take the time to educate themselves.
BUT, in defense of brick and mortar stores like mine. Please excuse my use of caps here but I AM YELLING. WE ARE DAMN SICK AND TIRED OF FIELDING STUPID QUESTIONS ABOUT FICTITIOUS ERRORS THAT SOMEONE “LEARNED” ABOUT ON THE INTERNET! I can not tell you how much of my time is taken up with these get rich quick clickbait schemes. I understand REAL errors and welcome the opportunity to purchase neat errors but debunking mystery doubled dies is driving me crazy. Then, after you take the time to share your decades of experience with most of these millionaire hopefuls they want to argue with you using their hours of experience reading crap on the internet. Some get outright nasty and are a severe distraction to real customers. So, PLEASE buy a copy of the cherrypickers guide and READ the section on doubled dies versus strike doubling! I often copy the pages for the customer but am doubtful some of them can either read it or understand what they are reading. Most just don’t want to have a dose of reality thrust into their fantasy world of becoming a member of the rich and famous.
Take a minute and think about it. The chances of a new collector finding a fortune in pocket change after reading an article on the internet is about the same as being hit my a meteorite at the same time as being struck by a piece of space trash while you are celebrating the fact that you just won the lottery on your birthday on leap day.
I have to quit now as I’m out of breath……..back to evaluating Walmart parking lot discoveries.
Excellent synopsis! So you're telling us you're customer focused. LoL!!

In 1962 at the age of 9, I was furiously looking for 1960 BAR O nickels. Each one I found cost me a Snickers.
Now at the age of 70, each Snickers cost me 25 of those nickels.
Where did I go wrong?

That newly minted coins are somehow "monetized". What a bunch of baloney. This is a term a bunch of lawyers contrived once upon a time to get out of one particular messy situation. Somehow this term fastened itself to the brainstems of numismatists everywhere.
Coins are acceptable instruments of commerce from the moment they're struck. No special ceremony or accounting gymnastics are needed before they're officially "ready to go."

They’re in a warehouse ready to go- just need to sort out whether they need to be approved by the federal highway commission or the federal aviation department. Should only take 10 years to figure out, but what do I know. I never thought there would be electronic money.
The Philadelphia Mint: making coins since 1792. We make money by making money. Now in our 225th year thanks to no competition.
60 percent of the world's population — 4.5 billion people — either have no toilet at home or one that doesn't safely manage human waste.
Nearly 900 million people still practice open defecation. That means going into fields, forests, open bodies of water, or other open spaces instead of using a toilet.
I think the road to inventing flying cars is placed on hold.
PENNIES ARE STUPID! WE DON'T NEED THEM. THEY SHOULD STOP MAKING THEM, ALL TRANSACTIONS CAN BE ROUNDED TO THE NEAREST 1/20TH OF A DOLLAR. WHY MAKE COINS IN SUCH SMALL DENOMINATION! THEY WASTE TAXPAYERS' MONEY MAKING THESE WORTHLESS DENOMINATION COINS. I HAVENT PAID FOR ANYTHING IN PENNIES IN MY ENTIRE LIFE! I FEEL LIKE I AM TAKING CRAZY ZINC PILLS!
The substantial truth doctrine is an important defense in defamation law that allows individuals to avoid liability if the gist of their statement was true.

I see no reason why people defecating in fields prevents my having a flying car.
That "Constitutional" silver is actually 89.24% pure (the fitness of the first US Federal Silver Coins) and that the 90% standard was the result of Time Traveling So-Shill-Us"t's taking over the minds and bodies of an 1837 Congress 😉

Now that's a rant!
A lot of the others are just bellyaches and whines.

A snicker cost $1.25 now?

That 1964 SMS coins supposedly exist. Additional ranting about what they sell for, would be unhinged.

I’ve written about this before. Why the hell did they leave Paul Revere’s name off the Delaware quarter and put his horse’s name?
