They are absolutely not in the least bit biased. They edit the forums equal across the board and if you disagree, you are simply wrong. Just ask @GDJMSP he’ll be happy to clarify just how wrong you are and right he is.

 

I don't think that many of current posters have ever been active when Peter reads some posts and goes on a triage binge. I am a sweet puppy based on that. Jim

 

Yet you keep giving us answers that require a lot of assumptions to try and have any idea what you’re talking about.

 

This doesn't get said enough so, as a collector who prefers raw coins, I'm repeating it.

$20,000 looks like fishing but according to Coin World, "This is only the seventh known type of mule clash error on U.S. coinage." So, maybe someone is willing to pay $20K, which would mean that's the coins value, on that day.

 

Did anyone ever find out what it was a mule with?

 

Borax, just one of 20.

 

It's pretty hard to read in the ebay link. But it says that the coin clashed with another reverse die (same design). Actually clashed twice, with slight rotation.

 

If that's true, what makes it a "mule"? I thought a mule had to be a different design.

 

What @mikediamond is saying is that because there was an unintended die in the wrong chamber makes it a MULE. From what I was always taught is that a reverse die does not fit into the Obverse chamber?
So in my opinion.
A) This is employee assisted. Can someone say after hours or down time fun?
B) A true accident some how a reverse die with an obverse fitting was made.

 

If B were true, there should be more out there.

 

I would say that in the past many have been found but passed on because of split plate doubling. I think that for a variety to be made it would need inconclusive data.
It would be fun to see some of the notes on this coin.
I think it should be held in the skeptical range. If it is True, I think that another example will surface soon enough.
What would be fun is if there were variety's and different die states.

 

Thread a train wreck, but the coin is still a pretty good find. I’m confused about the secrecy of it all though. Seems to me that some are a bit jelly of the good score, we should celebrate such things.

 

The coin is twenty years old, and should be scrutinized.
It's a great score, except that no one has any references to the coin.

 

Just got a quick note from the orig. owner. She sold the coin approx 1-2 months ago and the current Ebay ad did not belong to her. And I made sure to give her a congrats on the find as you suggested. THX
