I'm glad that I sold fast. Bought two, sold one at nearly double cost so effectively, post tax, got the other 70 for $200 or so. Neat to own and for $200 net don't think I overpaid. It will b interesting to see the final numbers on narrow vs wide.
Coin World is quoting NGC as saying that they have slabbed two 2014 1/10 gold eagles with the same Narrow Reeding. It is suggested that all fractional eagles back to 2008 be checked.

<< <i>This variety was completely hyped up by many wholesalers who made some serious cash on the deal It may be scarce, but who really cares...a reeding variety....not what I would ever call a major error Does not even come close the the 1999w, or even its silver sibling 2008 reverse 2007...as errors go >>
you keep saying this yet collectors keep paying a nice premium to have one. These are not a dog with fleas like the gold JFK turned out to be.
Are you talking about the 2015 coins or the newly-discovered 2014 coins?

Coin World gets the Mint to confirm my theory. The 2014 and 2015 Narrow Reeds 1/10th oz. gold eagles were struck in 2008 1/10th oz. gold Buffalo collars.
The 2014 mintage with the Narrow Reeds collar is estimated at 15,000.

"United States Mint officials confirmed June 23 that the Narrow Reeds edge collar inadvertently used to strike strike several thousand 2014 and 2015 American Eagle tenth-ounce gold bullion $5 coins is the same collar type used in the producing the 2008 American Buffalo tenth-ounce gold bullion coins. However, U.S. Mint officials consider production from two edge collar types to be variants, not errors."
Inadvertent, but not an error. Typical government failure to admit a mistake.
Hey, they're nice people. And I used to work there!
