    Yours should be worth at least double face value.

    Mine is a little off, probably worth 25 cents ....

    Due to my rough estimate of extra "face" value of the OP's coin I would guess that Looks like the value of that coin is about 75 cents. Nice score!

    Double eagle? $20.

    It still amazes me that these get out of the Mint.... I know, bags of coins, lunch boxes etc.... I wonder how many bags one would have to search to find this.... OK... one bag.... :D However, I doubt such errors show up very frequently ...maybe one out of a thousand bags....I think the midnight shift theory is more likely... Cheers, RickO

    It does say "HALF D" on it twice.

    Looks like a dollar to me.

    I don't collect errors, but from what I understand, the grade is secondary to the type of error.

In recent years I have been working on a set of British coins - at least one coin from each king or queen who issued pieces that are collectible.
