    "Most Unique" or "Unique"

    A majority of my error coins (striking errors) are unique. When the minting machine malfunctions & strikes a coin in a random fashion, the resulting coin is typically unique. There may be other coins that look similar but they are not exactly the same & are therefore unique.

    Great price, June 2012 HA auctions long beach a top 50 MS64 sold for $862. That is a serious margin. What grade is this one? It looks like a similar grade.

    Never got it graded. I need to but have been to busy doing other things lol. Been told it is in the range between 64 and 66 but to me that is a wide range and a drastic value difference. Not sure what I want to do with her.

    That is the error of errors and is well suited for this thread indeed. Are you a coin collector? You must go out and enjoy the varieties that the hobby offer. Coin collecting is so much more than expensive coins.

    MS 66 that coin will fly at an auction.

    Yeah it would and then it would be a memory of my collection. I may just keep her for a while and see what happens. I am kinda fond of her and her bogger :)

    I got this one as gift from a friend in states. It is NGC MS 64. I think it is only a normal one, but nice. Little off the thread sorry.
