    Okay, don't get it. You are an error collector and this is an error. What gives? Think it should have a date? Can you date it by the reverse?

    I bought this years ago when I first became an error coin dealer.

    It has been raw for years .....

    Brought it to Long Beach last month.

    Just got it back.

    I do believe there are reverse die markers that indicate the date. Do not remember as I do not specialize in that.

    You bought a coin made in Taiwan? 35% silver? Like our war nickels here in the US?

    The US Mint in Denver either produced blank planchets (or/and) stuck coins for Taiwan in I believe 1972?

    Researched it years ago and only going from memory.

    Yeah that's crazy, so somehow they attempted to strike an Eisenhower on a Taiwan dollar planchet? Hard for me to even comprehend how that could even happen.

    Happened at the US Mint, who knows how it happened.

    Could be simply an error in production.

    Great story. Hope someone can help identify the date!

    This just blows my mind. How did it even get out the door of the mint?

    Was the Taiwan one dollar plan something like the USSR's old five year plan? :)

    It happens when a planchet remains in a supposedly empty tote bin that is refilled with another denomination.

    The planchet then gets struck,

    That is a neat error.... amazing that you kept it raw all these years... I am not surprised that such things happen, just surprised me that they get out of the Mint.... Cheers, RickO

    I remember that coin, that was the coin you bought as a lot for dirt cheap, came on here to brag about. When people here called you a scum bag and let the lady know, you threatened to sue her and guilted her to send it anyway.

    Congrats on bragging again, but most of us remember who you were/are and didn’t need the reminder.

    ugh crypto you brought back the memories of that thread......I got so disgusted at that thread because of this member and greed. I still remember it to this day......yep he bragged about this and threatened to sue the lady.

    Crypto, You were banned once and you got begged to get back in. You are lying.

    Yes, I did cut my chops here as a brand new error coin dealer. I learned a ton about ethics and when NOT to ask an honest question about a coin that I did not know was real or a counterfeit when I did not have the coin in my possession. The real ethics violation was when a previously banned member here called the seller and offered to buy the coin from under me. That person has zero ethics.

    I learned a ton as a BRAND NEW Coin Dealer. There are sharks everywhere trying to take advantage of an honest question. If they cant take advantage of you, they call you a scumbag.

    Here is the story.... I saw a buy-it-now on ebay. I bought the coin. I as a brand new error coin dealer was not sure if the coin was real or not so I posted here on the forum BEFORE I received the coin. The first few responses said it was a fake. Then Fred and the captain chimed in and said it was real. Then it was off to the races to see if someone here could scam me out of a rightfully bought BIN on ebay. Crypto went ballistic thinking I ripped off some old lady. I have no idea who the seller was, how did Cyrtpo know it was an old lady? Why did Crypto get so mad? Why did Crypto take it so personally? Crypto then internet stalked me for a couple years on this forum until he was banned. The extreme unethical behavior that I experienced against me was very insightful as a new dealer, I learned a lot, and developed a thick skin.

    This was getting so out of control that I called a long-term coin dealer for ethical advice. Thank you.

    I then called a lawyer (first phone call free, never paid for any service) just to ask some questions. The seller was getting so many calls to steal the coin from me, I decided to post here on the forum that I contacted a lawyer to stop the seller harassment. I NEVER told the seller I contacted a lawyer and never threatened to sue the seller so Crypto is Lying.

    I just spent a lot of money with our hosts getting mint error coins certified. My Name is Christopher Talbot Frank and I will defend my business from an unethical previously banned troll who hides behind a fake name.

    This was a simply BIN on eBay. I was never asked for my opinion of the coin from the seller. All I did was buy a coin at the sellers' price.
