Would you send this Louisa Adams "error" to the melting pot?

Would this be an unwanted type of mint error?

Or, would you find this hair lip interesting and unusual?

    I would think that would be collectible.

    If you're the one who bought it from the mint, I'd return it for another or for a refund (which is obviously much more than melt). Not sure if it's any type of error that would bring a premium though.

    A real gamble. These are not worth more than we paid for them on a great day. That kind of a error ??? yes or no....

    Looks like it was struck through a piece of wire, while it is a true error I do not believe it would add any value. You could put it on ebay and list it as an error, there may be someone that collects this type or may be putting together a collection of different types of errors. Personally I feel it is harder to get coins of quality from the mint, errors are plentiful.

    I doubt there would be a premium for that error. Return it for a new one.

    If you just received this then by all means, return it for a replacement.

    I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.

    Perhaps I am the strange one here, but I think that is collectible.

    I am not sure how much above melt it is worth but it is, to me, very collectible.


    Edited to add that you should change the title of the OP to state 'error' or something to that effect.


    Maybe get Fred's input.

    It's a $2 error on a $500 coin.

    Or something along those lines image

    Very cool though!

    The entire series is a mint error.

    I have to say that some would enjoy having that piece in their collection. There is a market for everything.

    I'll pay an extra $50 for that error over the current price.

    is is cut into the face or raised? It looks like something scratched it after minting.

    If you can come up with a catchy name for the error, find a half dozen more, and then convince the grading services that it is important, you can make an Obscene Profitâ„¢.

    You don't like "hair lip"?

    Another question to members: If this coin was perfect, other than the face line, could the coin be graded MS70?
