I was unable to resist snatching this up off evilbay for $355. Extremely rare? or just another clashed die penny worth ?????

NOT a "Clashed Die error". This is just "linear plating blisters". Plating Blisters (error-ref.com)

 

Clashed with what? A box of Cheerios?

Sorry, that was crass and out of line. I apologize, but I think you may have overpaid a tad bit.

 

Where you see clash???

 

Evil is correct. There are so many other better coins you could of picked up for that price

I also agree with Linear Plating Blister.
I don't see any clash.

 

Alll..... Thanks for the input. This is the place to come for coin criticism.

I agree. I see the gaseous linear laminate blistering lines. I theorize the planchet was too thick, creating the high pressures needed for gaseous delamination. The sharp details can also be explained by a thicker than normal planchet.

As far as clashed dies indication, I see none but after I get the coin, I will inspect the 2:30 area for faint lettering.

In regards to price: According to most sane people, if you pay anything over face value for a coin, you overpaid. Time will tell. As I tell my family, it is a hobby, not a business.

I am a Cheerios coin collector. This coin is valuable (to me) due to the linear gas laminate errors, the possible mis-labeling by the graders, the Cheerios designation, and the sharpness in the details.

Again, thanks for the input.

 

Clever. I too missed my calling as a comedian..... Talk about overpaying. My marriage license cost $2 in 1972.

 

The seller on evilbay called this a clashed die. I was and I am skeptical. ANACS did not identify this as anything special. I think ANACS should have identified this as a laminate error in the 400 series. I may send it back in for a re-labeling.

 

One of 2 things probably occurred..

The person who sent the Cent didn't pay the Attribution fee. They won't attribute if you don't pay the extra fee.

Or, the TPG does not recognize the linear blister as an error. I have never seen a TPG attribute a blister issue.

 

One of my main rules when buying slabbed errors or varieties on ebay is that it has to have the error attribution stated on the label. I NEVER go by the seller's opinion alone.

 

A quick look indicated that 2000 LMCs have been sold between $10-100. Cheerios 2000 LMCs fetch a much better premium. I saw a few have sold for around $200. Having provenance has its advantages.

Nevertheless, when the conditions are right, a few coins will make it into circulation with minimal issues. These coins are called Superb Gem by collectors, and grade MS67 or finer. The finest grade certified for a 2000 Cheerios Cent is MS68RD. In this condition, cents can bring in as much as $3,500 to $3,725. In fact, Stack’s Bowers sold one example described as “virtually pristine” with smooth fields and sharp details in May 2019 for $3,600.

 

Question. With the Cheerios dollar, there are differences in the tail feathers so they can be properly attributed. But I didn't think the Cheerios cent had such differences. Is it only attributed as such if it's submitted for grading in the original packaging?

 

Basically yes. It has to be submitted on the original sealed package.

I made a joke on a Facebook forum where someone asked how do you know it's a real Cheerios Dollar or Cent.. I said " Smell it. It will have the Cheerios scent"

 

I learn something new every day. Today, it's the "Cheerios" penny.

 

You're nice. I would have said: "Put it in your mouth and find out. It will have a Cheerios taste to it". As the British say: "Cheerio ol' chap"....

 

If the reverse die clashed with the obverse you would see an upside down impression of part of the reverse. The angle is wrong for that.

 

We determined that it's an obvious Linear Plating Blister.
