GovMint selling errors

[ericodapro]

I rarely look at the mints website but this time I did and noticed they were selling an error coin (strike through) I dont know why but I thought the mint wasnt allowed to knowingly let errors out to the public? This isnt a rare error or anything but it is cool because its on a 1/2 Oz gold piece, The price seems very high also. https://www.govmint.com/2021-25-1-2o...bel-black-core

P.S. This should be in the "off topic" thread, my bad

That's because it's not the US mint's website.

Yep, not the US mint website.

But this is exactly why that business chose that particular name. To get "accidental" traffic.
(You're not the only one to fall for their shenanigans.)
