    This actually just sold a few months ago along with many other major double denomination errors. Im surprised to see it back up for auction so quicly.

    Do you know how much it sold for then?

    I added link to the previous sale below the pictures.
  • I find it interesting that coins like this even exist.
  • MedalCollectorMedalCollector Posts: 2,025 ✭✭✭✭✭
    Sold for about 28k with the juice. It's not a cheap coin! I think it might sell for a bit less this time around, but who knows? Check out the recent Heritage archive for some other great double denominational rarities.

    This comes up every time someone posts a very cool error ..........

    Very easy to have this type of error happen at the mint with no help.......

    Once again I ask, prove that someone made it, smuggled it out, while the whole time risking jail time. Prove it........

    If it had an "S" mint mark we would know it was bogus, but since it is a Philly strike I will give it the benefit of the doubt.

    Maybe Heritage bought it to try and get a better price??

    At the time, security was way more lax than it is today and MANY error coins have been manufactured and smuggled out.

    You should know this.

    I'm guessing that he does know this, but it's irritating as an error collector or dealer when any extremely cool or rare error is questioned about its creation. The simple thing is, this error is just like any other double denomination. There are many, many Lincoln cent struck on a struck dime errors out there, but it's rare to see someone blame these errors on mint shenanigans. Maybe if it was a quarter struck on an Ike dollar....
  • FredWeinbergFredWeinberg Posts: 5,932 ✭✭✭✭✭
    This same type of speculation doesn't seem to have affected those
    buyers of 1913 Liberty Nickels, which are known to
    have been created, unofficially, and taken out of a U.S. Mint.

    And, I'll bet it won't stop, or dampen the bidding on
    the soon-to-be auctioned 1922 Special Peace Dollars
    (more than 1) that are written up all over the place as coming
    directly from a high placed Mint officer from that period.

    Maybe they mean that anything AFTER 1922 is
    questionable as to how it got out of the mint.

    Or do they mean that anything that isn't perfectly
    ROUND is questionable?

    Or do they mean anything that they don't collect
    and study is questionable?

    It might just be the "too cool to be true" factor.

    Is it time to tell the story of the fake proof errors smuggled out of the SFAO in the oil pans of the fork lift trucks to yet another generation?

    Neat error.....and as for whether it was a mistake or intentional, I can say this.....No law, ever written, has prevented crime. Cheers, RickO

    Yes I did hear about the hiding of error coins in the oil pans, just never knew what mint or time period it was.

    Sure why not inform another generation about the facts.

    Anybody that is even remotely familiar with the coin making process "knows" that each of the coins you posted are the result of the coin making process and not something that an individual or group of workers could force into occurring to be secreted out of the mint for later resale.
