But I don't get CoinWorld
I missed out on the smoothie errors from Florida

New collectors, please educate yourself before spending money on coins; there are people who believe that using numismatic knowledge to rip the naïve is what this hobby is all about.

<< <i>Was it one coin or a bunch in a roll? Was it found in a roll of 2010-dated coins or 2009? I can see a scenario where a single Adams dollar was trapped in a bin between being struck and being lettered, and then ending up mixed with 2010 issue coins. If it was a gross manufacturing mistake I'd expect more than one to show up initially.

In the other thread our own mas3387 states: "Holly Cr*p !!! I found two of them and spent'em. Never thought to check the edge just figured they where left in the counting/rolling machine, UGH !!!! "
So, there are more out there. I've already gotten my order in but my last order were all P Mint coins.
Both coins are pop 1's but I expect that'll change since I've been selling them on eBay.

Check your rolls, or go buy some quickly before word spreads to the average eBay seller, because it's highly likely there are more to be found.

<< <i>Well if someone here already corroborated the find with multiple specimens from a single roll, it sounds more likely that a quantity of these were produced. I'm going to venture a very speculative guess and say that it sounds like another change-over error where the previous line wasn't purged of all coins before a new run was started. Does anyone remember the tens of thousands of Presidential dollars on quarter planchets that the Mint somehow caught before they left their control?

I don't think that there were multiple findings from a single roll. I think that the person quoted was saying that he spent two Zachary Taylor dollars, not two Zachary Taylor error dollars. After all, he says that he did not look at the edge.

Cool find and sounds like he will be keeping it for his collection, per the very end of the article. Now he has a nice error and a Coin World article to keep with it. Even if more are found.. he always will be the first!

OK, he has clarified that he did find two Zachary Taylor dollars in a roll of 2010-D Native American dollars, and spent them without checking the edge. They were presumably the error coins.

Sounds like it was just one stray coin that got hung up in the machinery.
I went through 1,000 pieces, and ain't gonna bother to do the last 500. Will just run them out into circulation through our cash register, like we normally do.
Oh, well.

....28,000 rolls, wasn't it? good article in CW saying how stupid this scenario is for the mint and relations with collectors.
