Hi everyone, I don't do this often but I'm at a coin show and ran across a really cool error coin but don't know how to price it, I haven't seen one like this before. Any help would be appreciated!

Around a thousand give or take and for what it is worth I have seen this dollar in a non details graded holder before.

As I recall this was in a anacs white holder graded vf35 and sold at teletrade. Stacks bowers has the tetetrade archies mixed in with their own so you could check. If not teletrade then great collections.

I'm not sure but that looks wicked cool!
I have no idea.... but an error collector may be able to assign a value...what ever value is assigned is just a reflection of potential demand....not based on any technical grade. Error collecting seems to be a fairly narrow - but hotly pursued - market. Cheers, RickO
That's a nice looking coin. What's the asking price?
Tough one to price...........I would figure what I'd be willing to pay for a regular repaired XF, (maybe VG bid?) and add a little bit and throw it at the guy and see if it sticks.
I'm not a fan of lamination........so it would be a minus not a plus to me.
I ended up passing on it, I kinda want it so I got his information and told him I would let him know if things change.
He started at $1,175 but after a bit of negotiation I got to $1,000.
It would hold no attraction for me. Mint errors on classic coins, unless it's something real cool like a full brockage, are a big negative in my view. Laminations do nothing positive for me.
Me too. I prefer errors where there's no other way you could get the same look except at the US Mint (ie over strikes, off-centers, wrong metal, wrong blank, double dies, etc.). In this case, you could run a wood dowel across a reverse and a get a similar look. Not my cup of tea....especially on a non-common date coin like the 50-0 dollar.
NGC said 'repaired' - did you see any other damage worked on?
I looked and looked for a repair but I couldn't find one, the dealer said he couldn't find one either and we both agreed NGC knows more than we do. The dealer had a lot of amazing errors that I have never seen before, I can't remember the others except for a broadstruck 1921 Morgan.
I was thinking that MAYBE the "repair" was a manual removal of the lamination at some point in its life? It looks pretty deep at the 12:00 end, and maybe someone cut or pried the piece out?
