    How does a cent like this even make it out of the mint?

    I am about to be in Vegas for the Super Bowl. Closest thing to a beach is the cement pond at Treasure Island!

    Very cool looking error now because of the combo of zinc and copper but I wonder what it will look like in 50 years?

    $1500.00 seems a tad high for a reserve.

    I find this attitude with many in the coin community.

    Seems like they don't like to own unique coins that some consider works of art.

    I would agree that coins like this are extremely unique.

    .
    was the top coin with the date plateless (copper) when struck or did the die rip it off from being stuck? either way there is some copper missing and i find that unusual despite all else that is going on. maybe a sequence of a few coins had the improper plating problem, causing them to stick to the die and each other in combination with the intense pressure? of course we have to include, maybe someone did it just to see what would happen!

    kool koin in any event!

    Same can be stated regarding Daniel Carr threads.

    Humans collect things... coins are just one of millions of different attractions....birds nests, belly button lint, stamps, old baseball hats, beanie babies, shells, vials of sand from different beaches etc., etc., etc.. Cheers, RickO

    Neat error.

    I know it's difficult to grade from a pic. But, I think calling that red is a biiig stretch.

    Neat coin. IMHO, the grade of it is as irrelevant as a tide chart here in Colorado.
