Here's a PCGS MS62 in gold in an older holder.

Since it's a Type-2 with upset rims, it seems like we should be able to date it if we had a matching off center coin!

Any thoughts @FredWeinberg? Have any new discoveries come up to let us date this?

I like this one. Gold planchet is rare.

One wonders how this left the mint and if it was accounted for.

I’ve never seen an off-Center AGE - partial collars, broadstrikes, etc. but not any off- centers;

Doubtful we will ever know the year of that gold type 2 planchet

I also wonder how this lot got out of the mint. It might be easier than the gold blank planchet.

Does museum collect mint error? I was checking on Shanghai museum coin collection the other day on one of the coin zoins posted, I only found couple of the mint error copper coins. I also checked ANA Society collection I only found about 40 of them. I wonder when museum can start a section for mint errors. Maybe Zoins can start a topic on this.

I assume it might be easier given that these are made of base metals and there were too many golden dollars struck.

At $13 a piece, people are doing really well selling these on eBay!

Dr. A. K. Berry donated his error coin collection to the ANA Museum, but I'm not sure how much effort the ANA spends promoting it or error coins in general. Are any of the ones you found pedigreed to Dr. Berry?

I found this one is pretty interesting.
