Here's an amazing coin from the PCGS article:

Don't Let Error Coins Intimidate You

Aside from the awesome coin, there's something strange with the article date which says it was published on "January 1, 0001".

    It would be great to have a video to see what's going on with the press when something like that is being created.

    Undergraded by at least a point. MS65 IMO. It definitely looks Gem to me.

    How does one grade that?

    Now that is certainly a 'one of a kind' error.... no way to duplicate it. It would be an amazing find in a bag of cents. Cheers, RickO

    Luster: Flashy zinc, flashy copper.
    Strike: Thoroughly struck.
    Surfaces: Wish there were a TV of this one, but I imagine there are some marks from where it detached from the rest of the cluster, possibly also a hit or two in the top of Lincoln's head, or the top of Lincoln's head, or the top of Lincoln's head, or the top of Lincoln's head...
    Eye Appeal: Yes.

    or

    60 + 2d6 / 2 (round up).

    I know it says no date, but does anyone have an educated guess at when this was made?

    A grade is definitely irrelevant on something like this. I wonder if it truly got out through normal means?

    Isn’t that how we’re determining it’s age?

    It's looks like a pile of bologna sliced at the deli counter.
