eBay Impulse Buying

Or read, why did I buy that coin?!

I hit the refresh botton and this coin appeared. Before I could gather my senses, I bought it.

eBay Impulse Buying. It can be dangerous!

(((PS: Anyone know what the heck this coin's all about?! ::: ::: )))

Interesting.

There was a small piece of metal or wire between the planchet and die that became inbedded in your new $100 coin.

That's a big prem for such a minor error. Retained foreign objects are cool & unusual though.

At least it wasn't the complete collection of "Mama's Family" or a Pocket Fisherman in the original box.

Especially on Contemporary Proof coinage. I'm hoping the silver colored metal will show up well, contrasted against the gold color of the coin.

WOW, I love errors such as that. At least, it is slabbed and noted. Also, that is one heck of a nice strike for a keeper!!!

I've got well over 100 1997 errors & the only similiar examples I have is a Proof JFK with strike thru (object not retained) and a biz strike ASE with a wad of wire retained.
