Found this newly posted image at Bob Green of Park Ave Numis's site, a really neat coin as Gold Mint Errors are quite scarce.
It's a 1925-D PCGS AU58 which has been Double Struck In Collar with a 180 Degree Rotation with a majority of the first strike detail present.

If I were to choose between this and the 1809 CBH 15% OC posted this morning, this would get my vote.

POR > SUV
Shoot, I would have paid double the normal rate but SUV pricing is insane.
As far as $2 1/2 Indian Mint Errors are concerned this is the cats meow.
Off Centers in 3, 5, and 10% are available once every so often, as are a few minor planchet clips.
Past that your down to some laminations and strike throughs.
This Double Struck may cost as much or more then an SUV, but has much less routine maintence and will not depreciate thousands once driven off the lot.
Secondly who needs an SUV at 10 mpg when you can own this along with a Schwinn and some knoby tires... see buying this could be good for your health!
Do me a favor BECOKA run that past your wife and let me know wht the outcome is?
Absolutely unbelievable. I like the fact that it is such a dramatic double strike. We have all seen the double strikes on other denominations that require the Hubble telescope to see. This one is amazing.

They left out an "O" -- as in "POOR" -- as in what you'll be after you buy the coin from them.

I sure didn't, that's why I bought one that gets 27 mpg.

Amazing that any gold errors escaped the sharp eyed lady adjustors.

Regulated, I know this coin well as I have the auction link save to my favorites for a few years now... it's a great coin!
Byers, that's for joining in on this thread and sharing the D/S $20's... any update on your Mint Error book release as I have 2 copies on pre-order at Amazon?
The same was done with Jay Cline's 4th SLQ edition.
In the end good things come to those who wait!
While your waiting go surf the Mint Error News site as there's a wealth of information, over 20 PDF magazines, etc...
but be forwarned if you get hooked, Mint Errors are like Doritos you can't buy just one!
Thanks for the wonderful link. Im going to have to spend some time to really get into it. Thanks again.
