Error coins

Whats up with these people that you send coins in to be checked out for errors..I sent one in a few months ago to a place (No names mentioned) and it came back as just a regular coin with no error than i gave it to a person that sends coins in all the time to the same place and wouldn't you know it,it was found as a new find.I don't understand it one bit..

    It depends upon whether or not you actually "submitted" it as an error and whether or not it was an "error" vs an identifiable "variety".

    Often times, folks mention error when in fact its a variety and your statement:

    "than i gave it to a person that sends coins in all the time to the same place and wouldn't you know it, it was found as a new find."

    tells me that it was actually a variety.

    TPG's are not mind readers (thankfully or I'd be in deep doo-doo) as you must be specific on your submissions.

    I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.

    i see what you are saying, but wow, a bit confusing

    maybe they submitted it in a different manor than you did

    without details, it is pretty much a waste of yours and our time

    unless you are just wanting to rant and vent, but then you get none of our assistance to help you verify if ranting and venting is the appropriate response

    now i am just down right curious!

    sometimes you have to get more than one OPINION.

    I've had a couple varieties that I sent to CONECA and were deemed "too minor to list" and when sent back in a second time they were given a new listing. It happens sometimes.

    Usually if I have a doubled die or RPM that's minor I send it to Wexler/Bordner since they'll list most any variety regardless how minor.

    What were the coin(s) and the variety/error?
