An error coin is considered legitimate if it has been verified by experts and authenticated by a reputable third-party grading service. These experts will examine the coin to determine the cause of the error and confirm that it was struck during the minting process. Authentic error coins may also possess specific characteristics or features that are consistent with known error types.
