well, snagged "the image of" cause you were so impressed with the original....

unethical? I never plan to represent this as something i owned... but I saved it in case I ever needed something to induce a headache.

    This would be a good example of what ErrorsonCoins should recognize as a Mint Error. And it doesn't even have any die cracks on it.

    I really like that quarter! I can't imagine what that one would look like after a 12 pack of beer and a few shots. Actually I'll find out tonight when I come home from the bar imageimage

    Years ago I started a thread about my "virtual collection" and had the good fortune to have many people respond with images. Probably the greatest of those was Cardinal, who put up image after image of his early dollars. It was a thread to make you drool. I don't know if it still exists or has gone the way of the neanderthal, but I saved off all the images and love to look through them.

    Seeing the OP's error reminded me of this coin. Picked it up last year from another dealer for the price of a mint set.
    Sold it for around $3700.

    Which of my three posts are you asking about?
  • stinkinlincolnstinkinlincoln Posts: 2,733 ✭
    The last one...
  • stinkinlincolnstinkinlincoln Posts: 2,733 ✭
    And the other two?

    But mainly that last one and the second one?
  • IGWTIGWT Posts: 4,975 ✭
    Because here are two that you might think are the same coin, but aren't . . .

    IGWT, Nice! That 1792 looks the same at a quick glance, but 5 seconds of looking at them, you can see theyre not.

    The 1792 Half Dismes are not the same coin. Surprise!

    I stole this coin from my older brother in 1958. He left it sitting on his bed! I was 7...I think I bought gum.

    I bought him a nicer one 35 years later. He laughed and told me he put it in his Whitman. Said it filled a nice hole.

    P.S. This isn't really the coin I stole from him. I spent it! I stole this picture from ebay. Aren't there support groups for this sort of behavior?

    I copied this photo from Xan Chamberlain's IHC error collection Xan Chamberlain's IHC Error Collection and keep it on my computer because it is so amazing - I sure wish I had the coin, and not just the photo!

    Looks like the same coin. The first coin was resubmitted for a grade review or cracked a resubmitted raw. It was then reholdered in the genuine slab. That major obverse scratch is identical on both coins.

    Perry, your comment doesn't match the photos that you "quoted."

    << <i>Perry, your comment doesn't match the photos that you "quoted." >>



    I think his comments do match, although I don't see the major scratch he's referring to. The two pictures are definitely the same coin. Even the serial numbers match.

    I think they are identical because they have the same obverse scratch from Liberty's temple through the P of Par. to the rim.
