    1999 is screwy?

    I think FatMan is an idiot savant. image He got that WAY too fast!

    It's struck on an unfinished proof planchet.

    Hey Russ, are they worth anything? I have both the $5 and $10 in PCGS MS69. Have they ever determined how many exist?

    I don't have a clue, but we'll both soon get a chance to find out. image

    So, you're not a savant!

    Alas, that was my second guess.

    It ain't easy to stump this group. One minute for the right answer? To coin a phrase, Holy Crap! image

    New collectors, please educate yourself before spending money on coins; there are people who believe that using numismatic knowledge to rip the naïve is what this hobby is all about.

    Early estimates for the $10 were much lower. Apparently a lot more were found somewhere.
