Also one more 1933 Double Liberty Saint beyond those already known should qualify. TDN opines there certainly is one or more of those still out there so such a coin should realistically exist.

Thank you Lloydmincy for addressing that "re post" Personally, I wouldn't have noticed so much the '53 O, as it was moderns which brought me back into the hobby just a dozen years ago , and my depth of knowledge isn't that great. However, the MULE is such an interesting albeit clandestine piece, that it got me to thinking about a "possible legitimate error" that might exist.

An original Libertas Americana medal struck in gold. Two were made (and paid for by Ben Franklin) and presented to the King & Queen of France, but they are presumed melted during the French Revolution.

Proof 1983-S cent stuck on a copper planchet. If all 1982-S proof cents were copper, there had to be leftover copper blanks that could have been used in 1983!

That one exists. See Superior's sale of May 91, lot 865. Not only well struck, but fabulous toning. There were some nice coins in that sale! >>
No it does not. See the current pop reports. That was a great sale!
I can't tell you what's going on with the pop reports, but I assure you that the coin exists. I was the consignor in May 91. I also remember where I bought it. (It came with a half dollar and dollar.) And not only do I remember the coin quite well, but I pulled the auction catalog to get you the lot number. It's definitely in there.
Edited to add that I suppose I could easily see the coin in a 68 holder today.

Patterns were made for a half-union ($50) gold coin weighing about 2.5 ounces. Logically there should have been a massive $100 gold Union. I would looovvvvvee to see one of those.

you seated guys are very imaginative, i almost shat myself when i spotted this one in a double row 2x2 box at a dealers table. the 1841-o closed bud reverse is known (and scarce) but an 1842 closed bud reverse ?
regardless of how many posts I have, I don't consider myself an "expert" at anything

I agree, there are so many neat combinations which "could theoretically exist", and which would be so much fun to own. A double denomination peace dollar on morgan dollar; a proof double-struck seated half with the second strike 50% off-center...the list is endless.

You know how in 1907 they made some Ultra High Relief $20's on extra thick planchets but with the diameter of a $10? (Same format as the modern UHR, which most of us have seen.)
Seems to me they could have done the same thing with the Indian Head $20 design, as on the pattern formerly known as J-1776. I'll have one of those, please.

There is some confusion with the two different types of proofs. I meant the circulation strikes. I know of one that has been certified but i think it may still be in question as to if it is a proof or not. There are some doubters. Has more than one circulation strike been found?
