At what time were those error coins boxed, does anyone know?

Mine were boxed @ 11:35, 02/10/05

Bubblehead, what type of errors did you find?

ellewood · March 20, 2005 6:37AM

Mine were boxed on 02/10/05 as well.....but at 10:54 (3 boxes) and 10:55 (2 boxes). I have only opened one box (a 10:55 box) and, it looks as if the Bison does not have any "speared errors". I couldn't tell on the other roll because the obverse is showing outwards on each end. I'd be real curious to know if anyone, WHO CLAIMS TO HAVE FOUND THESE ERRORS, has taken them out of a box that had something close to my box times.

Also, there is some sort of lot # above the time and date....the lot # on my boxes is 4074. I would love to hear from those who have found errors (if they came from the Mint issued rolls!)

I believe all the error coins found so far have been from bank wrapped rolls.

WHO CLAIMS TO HAVE FOUND THESE ERRORS, has taken them out of a box that had something close to my box times

Since someone on this thread referred to the 'Speared Bison', I have 29 of 'those' error coins on my desk. One has also been viewed by a CONECA member and already shipping out to Coin World.
Numismatic News will also have one by Monday or Tuesday.
My 'claim' to have found these states 'exactly' where they were found. There are also a lot of photos, on the forum and the internet - and the photos are real and were taken by me - and are not imaginary. There will be more professional and close-up photos soon taken by error experts, such as Bill Fivaz/Cherrypickers Guide - and also the numimatic publications.

Hey Neptune...you need to RELAX. Good lord. I was simply asking those people (who have been fortunate enough to find the errors) to respond to my post with their times, etc. I NEVER ONCE implied that yours or anyone else's claims were false.....I was simply asking people like you to respond. Is there something in MY post that implicates YOU? Nope. The only one that should be re-reading posts is YOURSELF buddy.

Hey Ellewood 'buddy'. I guess it was just the fact that you said 'claim' to have found - vs. 'have found' that led me to stress out somewhat. - as well as the fact that you put 'CLAIM' to have found in ALL CAPS. If you meant otherwise, then forgive me. I have been working on income tax solid for 3 days, and yes, that has me a BIT STRESSSSSED! I don't believe in public argumements on the forums, but will defend myself. Maybe I didn't need to, but it just appeared as so.

It's all good Neptune....thanks for editing your previous post.

Neptune · March 20, 2005 7:19AM

I edited my post to take out the part about 'reading'. All is well here too - got valium?
