Beautiful coin... thanks for sharing!

 

It's still sitting at the grading company.

 

How could it have been a DIME First since ONE DIME is reversed on the reverse?

DUH!

Never Mind since I can see that its upside down as well! Gawd I'm so stupid!

 

Go look again. It is not reversed. It is up-side-down.

 

there is only one way possible for a cent on struck dime to happen and that is for a struck dime to enter a cent coin die and get struck by the cent die. if a cent die strikes a plain dime planchet the dime planchet flares out to cent size . a cent will not fit into a dime die.

 

Very good, but you mean dime collar.

 

This coin graded MS67 today.

 

That's awesome Matt. Congrats.

 

Well, they got the grade correct. Congratulations!

BTW, I am surprised at how many of these there are out there and how many of them are very high grade. I am guessing that means the mint employees have ways of getting coins out of the mint.

 

That's a big number, but not surprising and very well-deserved for such an immaculate coin.

Congrats, Matt!

 

Nice coin, but how much is it worth?

 

Heck, Matt don't kiss and tell............

 

Congrats on the 67 Matt . Doesn't rlm's cents win the coin since he guessed 67 1st .

 

Oh! YEAH!!!

BTW, pricing makes no sense to me. MS67 went for (on Heritage) ~$700 and an AU went for ~$1,100. And , no, I did not get that bassackwards. I did look that close, but I suspect it has to do with how legible the dates are.

 

Are you looking at examples of this date that sold, or just any cent-on-dime double denoms? Matt's coin is unique. It's not your typical 1998-2000 double denom, which represent the majority of the population of cent-on-dimes. I have handled several 1999 and 2000 double denoms, one even in NGC 67, but I've only ever seen one 1990. That doesn't mean there aren't more out there, but simply that it's a scarcer date to find with the error.

For this reason, I would value of Matt's coin at $1500<

 

Oh, yes. Heritage has sold 9 of them from this date - all Philadelphia. Here is a NGC MS67 sold for $632 - http://coins.ha.com/c/item.zx?saleNo=1154&lotNo=6165. AU went for $690 - http://coins.ha.com/c/item.zx?saleNo=384&lotNo=6395. Cannot find the au that went over $1,000 for some reason.

 

Like any auction the price often depends on who's bidding , especially if 2 people with deep pockets want it .
