Great Wrong Planchet Error - A Franklin Cent!

Zoins

Cruising CRO is always a treat. Love the error and positioning.

Wow, that is incredible!

Is that available somewhere right now? Not an error collector, but a coin like that could easily give me an exception!

Thanks for sharing,

I totally think so too.

CRO = Coin Rarities Online which is John Agre's company. John is a member here and a great resource.

That's the third time that one's inspired its own thread. Somebody might as well go ahead and buy it. It is mesmerizing ...

Wow, that is an amazing piece.

I am glad it's not my birth year, as now I don't have to buy it.

Amazing.

Likely, why do you say that, did you see it happen?

How can you say "likely"

Where is your proof?

Very common (as far as off metal mint errors go) for cent planchets to end up in the dies of other denominations.

but, it's not FBL!!

I agree. Just because it's a major mint error, does not mean that it's a backdoor job.

What's remarkable is that it has the whole date, and possibly the mint mark if it was made in Denver. Pretty interesting.

I missed it. What was CRO's asking price?

I wonder if that was made by a mint employee when no one was looking.

lostincoins

Saw that a while ago and wanted it then.

Lakesammman

It made for a good ad before Christmas - Franklincents and mirth.

I think it was something like $5950.
