Thank you and all those links it is prooven that double denomination 11c is existed and legitimate error too! On the other hand my 1995 Double Denomination is not a common double denomination but UNIQUE and the Highest grade in all double denomination that is why is not graded as MS## Due of all orginal visble details of a cent and a dime legibly read on a surface of a dime planchet. On eBay one of the High End buyer did not make me Satisfied on his offer just 7 Million Dollars ONLY. So he did not get it. URGHHH!!

It's the highest grade, which is why it was not assigned a grade?
No, that's absolute horse-hockey! Reputable third party graders are given coins to grade them, not to slab them and chicken out on a grade. You've told your story numerous times about how some expert handled the coin and "graded" it and now it is quite clear to me that the expert clearly had no idea how to grade the coin.

Also that offer was sent to you in a message and was not a binding offer. Anyone can send you a message asking will you accept "xyz" for it, and it means absolutely nothing.
Had the offer been sent to you through you auction through the "Best Offer" feature, then it would have been like a contract.

Please read carefully and try to understand all experts behind the COIN FACT ENCYCLOPEDIA/PCGS Double Denomination Error.

COIN FACT ENCLOPEDIA/PCGS:
DOUBLE DENOMINATION ERRORS
One of the most expensive, popular, and desired types of errors are the double denominations. This error happens when a coin is struck on a previously struck coin of another denomination. Examples are a cent on a struck dime, and a nickel on a struck cent. The most dramatic are those with considerable design visible from the original strike.

The most dramatic are those with considerable design visible from the original strike.>> 1995 Penny On Dime is the MOST DRAMATIC in all Doubled Denomination that is why Mr. Alan Hager did not intent to grade it as MS ##. Mr. Alan Hager is a well known grader and professional expert in Numismatist World.-Of course I did ask Mr.Alan Hager why he did not assigned any Numerical number on this Unique Coin.
He just simply explaned your coin is UNIQUE..That is why I get that SPECIAL NAME on that Holder as 1995 Penny On Dime-ACG MINT.

Cent on Dime as MS ## is jus plain common double denomination. A 1995 Penny On Dime is the Highest Double Denomination in all Double Denomination. Why? The coin has Two Full dates 1995 a Key date, 2 LIBERTY,2 IN GOD WE TRUST, P Mintmark,VDB, A crack Die Variety and skull break and a mirror proof like in some areas Obverse and Reverse.-United States of America, ONE CENT,ONE DIME,EPLU- FG Initial, Lincoln Memorial split in Half a crack die Variety, A two Great Leaders Obverse, Abraham Lincoln(Penny or Cent) & Frank Delano Roosevelt (Dime or 10 cents)) Plus it was certified in Public at Baltimore Coin Show in Maryland on March 2000 by the Inventor and Professional expert in Numismatist, Mr. Alan Hager of Accugrade. His grading company start on 1984 followed by PCGS 1986 after the owner paid Mr. Alan Hager 100k for his expertise and his PATENT. 1987 NGC become the 3rd slabbing company. Now they called it TPG a third party grading. This the way I understand it.
Those who will sent an offer below 8.5 Million Dollars offer will be automatically decline the only way to get in touch with me is to send me a message on my eBay Message Board.

My favorite coin is my avatar. A 1971 Proof Jefferson Nickel with a missing mintmark.
Known as the 1971 No S Proof Jefferson Nickel.
There were only an estimated 1,655 of these minted and this one is mine.
I wanted one for almost 30 years and finally a couple years ago I bought this on a layaway plan for just under $1200.00.
I just could not justify spending all that money on one nickel at one time, so that made it a little easier.
You should have seen my wife trying to process this purchase in her mind.

Seriously, are you saying you turned down $7 million for this coin??

I almost shot coffee through my nose, but restrained my self. I still couldn't help but chuckle a little.

Inflation would have to skyrocket into uncharted waters before this coin would ever be worth a number like that.

I just have to ask, what was the Buy it Now Price!?

that's all. Thanks for asking.

It looks like it's found a permanent home. At that price, it will never, ever sell. It's at least 4 figures too high.

I had one dealing with Alan Hagar on eBay under one of his Gotcha IDs, which he changed and later got NARU'd.
He reneged on a coin deal. I refused to deal with him again.
