| Fred Weinberg just discovered, in a old and dusty file, one of my price lists on major mint errors from 25 years ago!!! It is a blast to look at. It is five pages long and is a must see for all error collectors. In it you will find many major errors that sold for a fraction of what they bring today. One example is a 1900 Indian Head Cent, Struck in Gold, than I purchased from the Beck Collection in 1974 for $7750. Today, this mint error would easily bring $75,000. For many, collecting mint error coins started out as just a small hobby. It is amazing to see how far this segment of numismatics has grown in the last 25 years. It is one of the hottest areas in numismatics with thousands of collectors focusing on mint errors. |  | |

| September 9, 2000 BYERS NUMISMATIC CORP. LAUNCHES A NEW FREE SERVICE ON THE INTERNET FOR MINT ERROR COLLECTORS Lake Forest, California: The popularity of the Internet has opened many doors for the numismatic industry, especially the area of collecting mint errors. Michael S. Byers of Byers Numismatic Corp. has been at the forefront of this Internet explosion, offering an extensive inventory of major mint errors on his web site, ByersNC.com. Byers notes "it’s unbelievable how I’ve seen the coin business, especially mint errors, change with the Internet. Business can be done much more easily and more effectively than just at coin shows. At the click of a button, people from around the country can view color photos of mint error coins and bid on live auctions, instead of the hassle of traveling to coin shows or waiting a week for a photo to arrive in the mail." Because of the convenience of the Internet, Byers is launching a new free service on his web site. |
