<< <i>If the NGC slab and Heritage auction title are correct, isn't this a 1909 IHC struck over a 1906 Barber dime? If so, wouldn't this have to be a purposefully manipulated, contrived "error" produced clandestinely? >>
Thats my take on it . Having a little fun at the mint !!

I agree but it's still a killer coin!
BTW, can anyone find and post a picture of the 70-S? I tried and failed.

All I have to say is that's weird and.......made purposely.
My mind really can't fathom that type of error occuring any other way.
Previously, a 1906 Barber dime was produced, then became lodged in a large tote bin at the Philadelphia Mint. Some time later, this bin was filled with cent planchets, the struck dime was knocked loose, and eventually found its way into the press run for Indian cents some three years later. That is how we presume this error occurred. How else could a 1906 dime find its way to the cent press in 1909?
There you have it, the Dime was stuck in a large tote bin for a few years. Makes perfect sense.
Either way this is a neat coin

What ever happened to that proof washington quarter struck on a Barber quarter ?
I'd love to work at the mint for "just one hour" and boy oh boy would I have fun !!!

will it go for 100K?
with other dealers at the show that
it would bring in the area of $75K,
possibly even more, if there were
two strong bidders.
The coin is sold to a strong, and
serious collector.......

I believe it's worth $20,000, tops.
Sold a house last month. Should not have. It is worth double today.
My grandfather always used to say "It's only worth what someone is willing to pay"
strikes are from the Phila. Mint......
And, at $20,000, I'll take another
half-dozen of 'em......just ship.....

At $32k I would hope so!
Interesting 'error' coin.

Edited for typo.
for the customer (and I told him
I didn't think it would go under
$50K at all !), I would have
happily bought it for myself,
and even would have paid more
for it that I had to in the auction.
Because I didn't think it would go
for under $50K, I didn't even
discuss with the customer what
would happen if it DID go for under
$35/$40K....my mistake !
As I said months ago, it was an
absolutely BREATHTAKING coin, and
one of the neatest Type Coin errors
I've seen in 20-20 years -
Laura's 1862 Indian Cent Cap (from the
Heritage Platinum Night in Denver) would
also be a candidate for that previous
statment.....
(or as I call the coin, "The Seven Fingered Indian")

Lloyd - Nonsense. I have bought thousands of coins at auction over the years that were very clearly worth more than I paid.

You know me better. Maybe I am jealous. Had my daughters big birthday bash, and couldn't pull of phone bidding. Anyway, it is a cool error, but not one of my top favorites. If my top two ever show up, you'll know which ones they are because I will be IN THE FRONT ROW!!!
What amazes me is how these things show up, and I (and most of us I presume) never knew they existed.

You got that right! I think I've found a new collecting area for myself!

Yes, and what about the ones we know exist but can not find? Like the missing 1849 $20 pieces or the 1895 Morgan 1$... who knows what numismatic treasures lie out of numismatic grasps. Only time will bring them forward if ever.
