36 minutes left on... The only MS67 PCGS $10 2006 W Gold Eagle is for sale. See the unique striketh

Lionel

See my EBAY auction for this fun strike through that essentially left a nice little crater where a star should be on the obverse.

Starting the auction at 1/2 "melt" value (more or less depending on the volatile price of gold) and with shipping included in auction price.

Have fun.

Thanks for posting this -- now we all know who That Guy is with the one MS67 coin.

I applaud your integrity for the detail about NGC calling the strikethrough "too minor." Also, it's interesting for me as I see these coins occasionally with these defects, and I've wondered how important they are.

Think you can get PCGS to review it and regrade as a 66 -- that is a pretty big mark in the field -- making it a sort of reverse "wonder coin"?



edit: addition

There's already an MS66 example of this coin, and I don't want to ruin it for "The Guy with the one MS66 coin". (I'd sure like to see how that one got whacked.)

Oops! Sorry about the misunderstanding.

Lionel

ttt just to bring it to the attention of the Thanksgiving weekend shoppers.

Lionel

ttt 'cause there's one day left! And, I can say fairly certainly without hyperbole that you're not likely to see a coin like this again!
