Mike Byers (mikebyers.com) has been a Professional Numismatist since 1978. He specializes in U.S. and World errors, and is now the largest dealer of the world's rarest mint errors. His new discoveries of major mint errors has been front page news for years.

Mike Byers is also a Consultant for ANACS for Mint Errors.

ANACS is one of the three major grading services. They have been authenticating, certifying and encapsulating mint errors since 1991 which is years longer than the other two grading services combined. ANACS is highly respected in the Numismatic Community and has extensive experience in authenticating mint errors.

The two major contributors to minterrornews.com are Tim Bullard (errorcointrader.com) and Allan Levy (alscoins.com). Because of their combined experience and insight of the error coin market, they will bring valuable news and information to minterrornews.com. 

We encourage collectors and dealers to submit articles and photos of major mint errors that we may feature on the website.

Sponsored by two of the most experienced numismatic error dealers in the country, Rich Schemmer and Fred Weinberg, and numismatist Dave Camire of the Numismatic Conservation Service, mintnews.com has a full staff of knowledgeable numismatists writing articles for your reading pleasure.

Plans for now are to have all in-staff writing, but eventually founder Dave Camire would like to accept reader submissions for publication. "I like the atmosphere of sharing information that could come from this," Camire said in an interview yesterday.

After a few weeks of writing and including news stories, the full impact of the database driven site, created by web developer Charles Daughtrey, will come to light. Users will be able to go to a search page, enter any term they choose, hit a submit button, and all the news stories saved on the M.I.N.T. database will be listed for reading, just like any typical search engine.
