    I guess error collectors are a different breed - doesn't do much for me.

    Heritage call it remarkable. What an understatement!
    Change that we can believe in is that change which is 90% silver.

    Well, it hasn't reached the reserve yet. It may not sell.

    Just a manufacturing error from a factory that makes coins. Doesn't do much for me either.
