For Those Here Who Might Collect Presidential Dollars with Errors

[fascisthunter]

You may have heard of the Washington "Godless Dollar"!!!!? Well, it's true, there are a number that got by the US mint, but now there are other errors and variety of coins that have perceived errors, making that coin no more valuable than any other coin of it's mint and year of mint.

Be aware.... there are fakes out there being sold a ERRORS. People are scamming buyers by charging a high price for these "rare" coins. I know these coins are great gifts, but you need to know these "gifts" may not be what they appear to be. Because this has been a very popular coin with collectors and we are in the second year of a very large series of coins, be aware that there are fakes out there.... not just counterfeits, but coins that have anomalies in there appearance but are not "true" errors, which can fetch a few bucks.

As with any hobby or industry, where there is money, corruption soon follows. I like seeing others sharing my hobby, I just dislike the cheats who pollute it for everybody.

"Free Market"... there's a some to be dead talking point... never was any real substance to it to begin with, but greed blinds even intellectuals.
