Thanks! I missed that one earlier somehow! Great thread
I still do not understand why the coin was named 'The Grand Snake'... and no one has yet provided an answer. Why and who named the coin??? Cheers, RickO
David Camire actually provided that info. The name is from the US Mint and "snake" is US Mint terminology for what the hobby calls "off-center".
Awesome offcentered
Those are important toned specimens as they presumably went directly from the bag to the sorting tray and then holder.
Sidestepping the dip-friendly / AT / grubby-handed dealers and collectors. IMO that should be added value.
A little more fun backstory on the “Grand Snake” terminology. In early 1973 the GSA started to use a photo of the dramatic 82-CC off-center Morgan to publicize the first GSA sale. They ended up issuing a press release that caught the attention of Arnie Margolis who was the editor of Error Coin Trends Magazine which was a segment of the hobby that was really starting to come into it’s own. When the GSA issued a press release calling the coin a “Grand Snake” error, Margolis wrote an irate letter to the administrator of the sale admonishing him for using nomenclature completely foreign to error collectors. This actually started a friendly dialogue that I believe led to the visit that @FredWeinberg has mentioned a few times on the boards where they went and viewed all of the various errors discovered in the trove of 2.9m coins. Here is a brief excerpt from Margolis’s 1973 Mint Errors on Carson City Silver Dollars that tells a really fun part of the story.
@Zoins... Thank you very much... That makes it clear. Cheers, RickO
Wow interesting!
