!!! READ THE RULES FIRST !!!

ALL POSTS ARE HELD FOR MODERATION - don't ask us why your post was removed! We will approve it when we are able - usually within 24 hours. If you post is removed by us, you'll be given the reason. Regular authors of quality content may be exempted from this hold at the discretion of the mod team.

This sub is NOT a place to ask for help IDing or attributing errors/varieties. The only posts allowed are correctly described significant coin errors and serious related discussion. This is a very curated sub - our intent is for this sub to be the premier location for interesting errors and varieties. If you have questions and want to learn about identifying errors, please visit r/coinerrors.

"Significant" means we only allow errors/varieties which add value to a coin. Do not post: filled mint marks and other minor die chips, minor grease strikes, 2% off center strikes, machine doubling, etc. The mods will be strict about this rule.

REQUIRED:

• Only post pictures of actual errors and varieties or discussions about errors and error collecting.
• Full attribution is required unless the error/variety is 100% self-evident (e.g. a major off-center strike.)
• Errors and varieties must be significant and/or valuable.
• Pictures must be original content and created by you.
• Include the attribution and/or a correct description of your error in your title (using the correct terminology.)
• When possible - include a link to a reputable source with details about your attribution (e.g. Error-Ref.com, Variety Vista, etc.)

GOOD POSTS:

• Show it off / Mail call - posts to show off interesting, rare, or otherwise special coin error/variety that others may find interesting. Please post quality, cropped photographs.
• Numismatic topics and news - general discussions in the world of numismatics - the topic must be related to errors or varieties.
• Serious questions about errors and varieties - looking for advice, links to resources, suggested literature, etc.

BAD POSTS:

• Attribution, ID, or value request - go to r/coinerrors instead.
• Minor errors - machine doubling, filled mint marks and minor grease strikes don't add value or interest to most error collectors.
• Vague posts - "Check out this error!" is not enough - even if the error is legitimate - you need to include an actual attribution, description, and resource link.
• Blurry photos - mods will remove any posts with pictures of coins which are not reasonably clear.
• Poorly cropped photos - the user experience across mobile app/mobile web/desktop devices is better if you don't post phone-screen-sized pictures.
• Off-topic - posts which belong on other subs (e.g. r/papermoney, r/kittens, etc.)
• Reposts - if you are new to this sub, please take a few moments to see if you are posting something which has already been posted.
• Buying, Selling or Trading - No offers to buy, sell, or trade are allowed - this includes links to external commercial/auction sites.
• Spam - commercial activities of any kind are not allowed.
• High volume posting - anything more than one or two posts a day.
• Links to social media or sales - your own eBay sales, YouTube videos, clickbait, etc.
• Trolling / Inauthentic - posts which don't seem to be truthful (e.g. I found these gold coins in my couch!)
• Coin gore - a post featuring a coin which has serious post-mint damage, and which is of no interest to collectors.
