Therefore, I want to take a close look at some “old wives’ tales” from such offers in this article. I’ve been observing this issue for quite a while now. In most cases, the coins are fake, and an imaginative story is supposed to make you buy them anyway. But these pieces aren’t error coins to begin with.
And in many cases, there are thousands of euros at stake! Unscrupulous sellers are charging astronomical prices for their coins. After all, these offers usually do not only target experienced collectors but aim at luring ignorant newcomers into their traps. But beware! If you don’t have some basic knowledge, you’ll quickly fall into the traps of dubious charlatans. In recent years, more and more collectors seem to have become interested in the subject of error coins – which is actually something good. What’s currently happening on online sales platforms regarding euro error coins is just crazy.
