Let me start off by saying: Currently, I am not a paying member.
I've been collecting coins (I guess mostly American classic would be my category) on-and-off since I was a kid with a paper route back in the 60's. I'm not a key player in this hobby. I'm not a dealer, trader, investor or grader. I'm just a hobbyist. Filling holes in albums, trying to complete sets, trying to build legacy sets to pass on to family members, upgrading when possible, submitting a few coins to ANACS testing my non-professional grading stills, etc...
I've always found errors fascinating. I have a few, nothing major. Some clips, DDO's, struck fragment, struck thru's, clashes, off-centers, ragged clip, etc.
Was always amazed on exactly how those "REALLY MAJOR errors" actually escaped the mint.
Glad to be here.
