Coin World reports new 2014-D Dollar mule certified!

CaptHenway · January 15, 2021 12:23PM

Coin World Online is reporting that NGC has certified a 2014-D dollar with the undated Sacagawea dollar obverse and the Statue of Liberty reverse found on Presidential Dollars! The coin is slightly circulated, having been found in a group of used dollars obtained at a bank.

Check your rolls and bags and who knows, maybe even Mint Sets just in case!

If there is one, there may be more!

Especially since it was found in the wild!

I saw that a day ago. I wonder if it was shenanigans?

It is certainly more plausible than a double-denomination mule. And I find the fact that it was not discovered for seven-ish years to weigh on the side of it being unintentional.

I'll be honest, I've been asleep for so long on this series, I don't think I would have recognized it as a mule without this article pointing it out to me.

These coins circulate so infrequently that it is entirely plausible there are more out there to be discovered. Since it's a Denver issue, I don't think I'll be rushing to any east coast banks looking for rolls to search, but good luck to those inthe hunt.

My bank routinely saves me all dollar coins and half dollars. I keep hoping to find a Cheerios dollar in the wild. Yeah, right!

Even though I could drive to the Denver Mint in less than half an hour the stray dollars I see are at least one-third P-mint coins. And I find a fair number of the modern years that were only released in Mint Sets, rolls and bags. So, a 2014 Mule is possible.

Wow... What a cool find. I guess a trip to the Post Office is in order...Do they still give change in Sac/Prez bucks? Cheers, RickO

Time to ride the light rail......kiosks loaded with Prez $1's.

COOL!

JBK · January 15, 2021 4:10PM

By 2014 weren't all dollar coins available from the mint only?

If so, the collector who released this one might well have others.

I guess it is time to start taking all the small dollars the tellers are always trying to foist on me.

WAYNEAS · January 15, 2021 4:12PM

a real boost and motivator to the CR searchers

CaptHenway · January 18, 2021 8:16AM

Guess I'll have to hit my bank again tomorrow to clean out their accumulations.

It's amazing that the Quarter Sac mules have sold for over $100,000!

Any guesses of the value of this new mule?

TwoSides2aCoin · January 18, 2021 8:50AM

Mint shenanigans. I'd rather have Dan Carr make them for us.

CaptHenway · January 18, 2021 9:07AM

My gut feeling is that it is legit.

Lakesammman · January 18, 2021 9:17AM

Pretty cool find. I passed on the earlier mules at auction thinking they might get confiscated - should have jumped in with both feet!

It is interesting to figure out what gets confiscated and what doesn't.

Panda4456 · January 18, 2021 9:28AM

If I was that person who discovered it. I would sell it for 25,000 and move on before more are discovered.

It was struck in 2014 so how many more do you think there are?

Kurisu · January 18, 2021 11:26AM

Does anyone know if it has edge lettering?!

Yes. That is how they know it is a 2014-D.

ernie11 · January 18, 2021 2:37PM

This news even made me go check my 2014 Mint Set! But no dice.

One of those Doh! senior moments for me...excellent thanks! Lol!

I'm tempted to open my 100 coin mint sealed bag of 2014 D's.

Wonder what you could sell the bag for. Run it up the flag pole with a reserve. See if anyone salutes.

Well, since these were not issued for general circulation but the discovery piece was found in the wild, there is a good chance that it came out in one such bag and got spent. If it were mine I would open it.

derryb · January 19, 2021 7:37AM

Had to come from a mint order, either bag or roll. A collector probably looking for missing edge lettering who spends those with lettering.

does anyone know if the mint still ships $1000 bricks of dollar coins to fed reserve banks for distribution like they did with the early presidential dollars? Found hundreds of Missing Edge Lettering Washington dollars from such bricks from my local banks when the Prezzies first came out.

One of my finds:

I can’t get excited for an error form a series I can’t get excited for. Coins that don’t circulate are more like commemoratives than currency and commemorative do next to nothing for me. Might as well be collector plates

derryb · January 22, 2021 6:28PM

And how does the TPG know it's a SAC? Could be one of four different 2014 presidential dollars with a SAC obverse.

Maybe the determination is made simply based on whatever the obverse is?

Appears so. Purpose of the question was to point out that maybe the search should include rolls and bags of the four president issues for that year.

I thought that was obvious. Check any and all 2014-D dollars.

Hello everyone, do you think will this double denomination error be valid? 🤭
