Title: APCGS "Error"

If anyone knows Shane Williams of APCGS it would be worthwhile reaching out to him and letting him know that that 2c is not an error.  It's the first stage of the process used to make a ring from a coin.

By the way, keep this thread civil and non-slanderous.

A while back emu666 pointed out a fake error as well on the facebook group.

If I recall it appeared to be a thin planchet penny with really defined denticles, but was actually a coin that had an acid dip.
The owner of the coin and the rest of the FB all supported APCGS' opinion, over emu666's...

Hey AJ don't rule out Facebook completely.I picked this up as a raw coin for
 $200 on facebook late last year and just got the grading results back

:swoon: WOW Stevo, very nice pick up mate :good: Yeah you can get some nice coins there but some of the people really shite me too tears and aren't like me where I like to share what little knowledge I have and some are just there to rip people off, or try anyway :dash1: It's a shame a few bad one's stuff it up for others but ya get there everywhere and through all walks of life :winkextra:

I can't believe they won't listen to people like Peter as I listen to everything people say that have been in the game a hell of a lot longer than me, how else are we meant to learn :)
