    75K huh? Can you spell B-U-R-I-A-L?

    Minor variations that require a precision scale and color hues that are almost undetectable – all entombed in slabs where it’s almost impossible to appreciate them.

    Do yourself a favor and check out some off metal Civil War tokens or some 19th century pattern coinage. You can own them for a lot less, and you would not have to spend hours looking for the differences.

In recent years I have been working on a set of British coins - at least one coin from each king or queen who issued pieces that are collectible. I am also collecting at least one coin for each Roman emperor from Julius Caesar to ... ?

    That's interesting - I hadn't heard anything before about experimental planchets with respect to state quarters.

    New collectors, please educate yourself before spending money on coins; there are people who believe that using numismatic knowledge to rip the naïve is what this hobby is all about.

    Why are slabbed as "error" shouldn't they be patterns or trial strikes either but they're not errors. If they're experimental they meant to make them, they were not an accident.

    << <i>Why are slabbed as "error" >>

    Are they considered error because they were never intended to be released to the public? That is, minting them was intentional, but releasing them was an "error".

    I still don't agree. Are 1913 5C slabbed as errors (I don't know, are they?) they weren't meant to get out, or the 1933 $20 that definitely wasn't meant to get out.

    So we had error's in the state quarters in 1999 and we had the west point w gold error's in 1999 were there any other error coins in 1999?
