    I saw that in today's online Coin World.

    Really cool.
    I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.



    The name is LEE!

    I guess had the rims been upset it might have been a bit more noticeable and discovered sooner...

    As I'm surprised how well centered and the lack of details for a 2.5 mm smaller diameter planchet.

    I find it ironic that Ive read in the past, many discourage the "special" bullion coins....
    and know everyone's eyes are popping out on this one *chuckles* Great find tho, thx for posting

    guess I'll have to unstrap the box.
  • very nice coin indeed! Funny even with today's technology there is still errors. What's the value on a special coin like that?
