    You will always be learning. Consider this experience a lesson in coin grading. Get yourself a loupe and memorize the 5 rules of MODERN coin grading:

    1.) Eye appeal (Poor, Fine, Neutral, Good, must be OUSTANDING)

    2.)Mint Luster (must have all mint luster)

    3.)Coloration (natural toning, no cleaned coins)

    4.)Surface Preservation (No marks, scratches, scuffing, spots,  no dented rims, reeded coins must not show any wear, Lincoln memorial cents and Jefferson nickels MUST have full steps on reverse. The Eagle on the reverse of Washington quarters must show chest feathers, dimes must have full torch bands on the reverse.

    5.) Strike (this includes mint error coins, doubled dies, etc.

    Thank you will do

    It would be a whole lot easier to take if it were only on places like this site, but it's not. The plethora of "get rich quick by scamming people" sellers on eBay is completely out of hand. Worthless coins being listed for multiple thousands of dollars. It's sickening. I think eBay needs to make listing more costly, perhaps. Something has to change, and quick.

    I'm not out for a quick buck. I've been saving my coins for years to give to grandkids some day. All I asked for was an explanaton how it occurred, I'M STILL LEARNING and I appreciate your thoughts.

    Where did you get the idea that the E in ONE was in any way significant? Just curious.

    because you dont see an E like that on pennys. PCGS didnt give me an explanation as ro how that came about..if you pay for an error coin

    It should be graded as such or give an explanation
