John Adams Error Coin

stckplunge

Let me hear some guesses as to what my John Adams Proof misaligned error coin will sell for. I sent one in for grading at NGC - it is clearly an error as the coin could be used as a door stop due to its drastic wedge shape and off-center strike. I also have three more less dramatic examples that I did not send in - probably not enough wedgieness and the strike still shows a small intact border on the top - the border is obviously/visually lacking in symmetry. Any guesses on the for sure error value? Just for fun, but at least try to be serious!

I ordered 80 sets from the mint and opened 4 boxes in a row with these errors - it was funny because it was a day after NGC posted a picture of that specific error - It looked identical to mine - I thought they broke into my home and photographed it and then sneaked out!

Misaligned die? It's a minor error on a coin minted this year. To me? $1.

Sorry - it is a horizontally misaligned die - not just an off-center strike. The coin is wedged shaped with one side being twice the thickness as the other. The "thin" side is too thin to have any visible lettering on it. Also, because the dies were horizontally misaligned, metal was pushed out the fat side, so that side has a large chunk of metal attached to it. Sorry about not including this info in the first post.

The first image showing the Adams is the absolute splitting image of the four coins I received from the mint.
