    junk, just throw it in the smelter image kidding of course. Don't think i've ever seen an error strike on one of those, maybe because they do get thrown back into the smelter wherever they're minted.
    In any event, cool piece of silver!

    Now that is pretty darn cool ! You know what to do if you ever get bored with it.

    Interesting...and surprising, since, as piecesofme said, they are usually just remelted. Cheers, RickO

    I think this is a rare piece that has more value.

    Now why wouldn't this have the same kind of value as a circulated US coin stamp error?

  • Nice round! Not bragging by any means, but I believe that I'm one of the larger collectors of error bullion rounds and bars out there with a collection of over 200 items. I have purchased my errors from 2x-6x melt depending on how dramatic the error. Not the ideal way to hoard silver, but I'm going for a collection of unique items. Here are my errors from the Sunshine Mint:

    And the highlight of my Sunshine Mint errors.....a true 2-Planchet Bonded Cup & Saucer error:

    Now I remember where I'd seen one of those before! What a great way to collect interesting bullion!
