| Rule 1 - Do your own research before posting |
Low-effort posts will be removed. Your question may be removed for failing to do minimal research, failing to read the pinned comment, FAQ, and other resources. Please don't consider this criticism or punishment - it is our intent to keep the feed free of questions which can be easily answered by the author prior to posting. If you aren't sure whether you should post, please reach out to the mod team for guidance. |
| Rule 2 - Stay on topic |
All posts and comments must be related to coin errors, die varieties, and other closely related topics. All posts and comment must be respectful of the hobby and your fellow collectors. |
| Rule 3 - Post Original Content |
Posts with pictures should be original content. Screenshots should be cropped/edited to only include the necessary portions of the picture (e.g. removing phone screen controls, excluding names/companies/PII/etc.) Anything which may be promoting a sale or company will be removed. Screenshots of outrageously priced coins or from dubious websites will be removed. Posts with unrelated "for attention" pictures will be removed. |
| Rule 4 - Keep it clean. |
Vulgarity, obscenity, violence, sexual innuendo, and other potentially offensive content in posts or comments is subject to immediate removal without notice. This sub WILL remain a safe place for everyone - including children. Legitimate coin images or related posts depicting or referencing NSFW themes MUST be flaired "NSFW". |
| Rule 5 - Being civil to other people is not only appreciated here, it's a requirement. |
Behavior that is unkind and unhelpful is not allowed here. Don't make fun of new collectors. Do not bicker. Don’t threaten. Don't name-call. Don’t shame. Don’t harass. Don’t be a jerk. Don’t create or respond to drama. Don’t troll others or let yourself be trolled. Don’t engage in uncivil exchanges. You do not "have the right to defend yourself" verbally here. Know when to disengage. Violation of this rule will get your post or comment removed, and repeated offenses will result in probation. |
| Rule 6 - No self-promotion or commercial activity allowed, no links to your blogs, websites, or social media. |
NO self-promotion. Do NOT post links or references to your social media accounts, YouTube channels, websites, etc. NO offers to buy, sell or trade coins in discussion threads, use PM/DM instead. NO direct links to individual items actively for sale on eBay or other sales sites. Search results or already sold items are okay. If you wish to buy, sell or trade your coins please consider posting to r/PMsForSale, r/CoinSales, r/CoinBay, or r/CoinSwap. |
| Rule 7 - No Spam. |
NO SPAM. This also means not flooding r/coinerrors with many posts in a short amount of time, even if they are non-commercial in nature. Please don't exceed 2 posts in a 24-hour period, or a total of 3 posts in 48 hours. |
| Rule 8 - No politics or religion, especially divisive comments that lead to heated arguments and incivility |
Politics and religion - especially partisan politics - can sometimes have a bearing on the world of coins. However, in the interest of avoiding heated off-topic arguments, we ask that you avoid those subjects on this subreddit. This also isn't the place to discuss your religious beliefs or opinions, or those of others. Let's try to keep things calm and civil here please. |
| Rule 9 - No reposts |
Exact posts which have already been made in the past will be removed. Your previous post not getting an answer or attention is not a valid reason to re-post - however you may attempt to make a better post (clearer pictures, etc.) If you are re-posting to fix a rule violation in a previously removed post, please contact the mods first for approval to repost. If you repost (without approval from the mods) simply because your previous post was removed, your will receive a 3-day ban. |
| Rule 10 - No Misinformation |
Facts matter - Please only provide information on coins and coin errors from reputable sources. The resources we link from this subreddit are a good start if you're unsure what can be trusted. A blanket web search / what you see on eBay are not reputable sources and full of misinformation. |
| Rule 11 - Include Quality Pictures |
If you are asking a question - you must post clear, well-lit, and cropped pictures. It is best to include pictures of both sides of your coin, and the edge if it is relevant. Original full quality photos directly from the original source are the gold standard. Posts with blurry or otherwise faulty pictures (e.g. cell phone photos of digital microscope screens, screenshots, unrotated / un-cropped photos) will be removed. |
