    Great coin @jt88!

    Of course, there's this one too! Not mine, but great sale for collecting.

    The buyer that bought at 100K will have to hold it for two or four times his life time to see the green light. This might happen to the 230th privy coins. We shall see.

  • OAKSTAROAKSTAR Posts: 7,758 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Okay Mr. @Byers, be honest with us folks down here in steerage. We're just outsiders looking in. EXACTLY how are you acquiring these coins? And when you are acquiring them, are you asking the seller how they acquired them. Or maybe you don't have to ask, maybe you already know. If you do know, can you tell me?... I promises I won't tell anyone. 😉

    For those of you not familiar with ‘Lonesome John’ (John Devine), he was the largest error dealer in the early 70’s:

    He published my 1975-1976 catalog which included my gold Indian Cent and $20 Liberty struck on a Large Cent planchet:

    This proof Kennedy 3 piece clover leaf surfaced in the 70’s. I sold it to a customer.
    In the early 2000’s I re- purchased it and sold it to a dealer. It is now certified by NGC. To date, it’s the only known clover leaf Kennedy in proof.

    @Byers - Come one Mike. That's all fine marketing and I'm not saying it's not all true. We all know that.

    Tell us something we don't know. Like the inside stories on how these things escaped the mint or the underground pipeline of midnight requisitions. Come on Mike, dazzle us! This is the place to share the info and knowledge.

    Amazing coins and especially the 3 leaf clover Mike!

    Proof mint error coins escaped the U.S. Mint in S.F. in several ways. Below are 3 ways that many of these got out.

    It has been established that proof mint error coins were hidden in the oil pans of the forklifts that were serviced outside of the Mint. This Kennedy Half clover was intentionally produced and was in this group:

    Others were discovered in a group of San Francisco Proof Errors that was auctioned by the State of California, after being released by the Secret Service. This 1970-S Proof Quarter from the United States was overstruck on a 1941 Quarter from Canada and was intentionally produced, and was in this group:

    A few years ago a group of proof errors surfaced, which had been in a collection for 50 years, including unknown types of proof errors. This proof double struck Ike Dollar was intentionally produced and was in this group:

    Amazing Mike! This has a nice TrueView as well! It's great that the State of California sold these at auction!

  • Been a long time since I posted but I like this thread as it goes to my newest addition to my Roll Hoard... got this, my first Half Roll, today. Still trying with the Penny Rolls but boy, tough to wrestle away from businesses these days. And the only Banks/CUs i need from won't let me buy without an account... so thanks for this thread... hopefully I'll add to it many times this year...
