My vote was 67 can't see it going any higher as a wrong planchet strike.
Very cool Love the coin.

 

I say MS-64. There are several significant scratches and scrapes.

I voted MS67. Man, that is one clean error coin. Look at the nearly flawless obverse. I see only one mark on the cheek. Other than that, the surfaces are silky smooth and immaculate.

 

The people have spoken and we have an average grade of 65.96

The coin graded MS 67, and I think that is fair. It's also one of those coins were any grade in the 65-67 range likely doesn't make a huge difference (it's the error that matters here...now at 64 or lower, I do think the final price would be lower since there is still a price bias towards gem or higher grades).

 

What is the price on this one? I would love to own something like this.

 

It's part of the Stacks ANA Auction and is currently at $4,200. I'm guessing it should easily go over $10k (Stacks mentions that a weaker MS 64 example sold in 2013 for $9,400).

I am thinking 12 to 15 on this one,
But we have been surprised before.
Keep us updated @ddddd

 

Sold for $7,800, which includes the 20% fee (I believe).
That's less than I though it would bring (I was guessing over $10k), but still way out of my price range.

Seems like someone stole that one. Wonder what held the bids back.

 

Dudes... I can get you a coin that has the entire design for much less. You can paint it whatever color you want.

 

True, especially based on this tidbit in the auction description:

"Clearly this is a significant offering for the advanced Mint error and/or Franklin half dollar collector, and the first 1961-D half dollar struck on a cent planchet to appear in our of auctions since our August 2013 ANA Sale, lot 1855. That coin, certified MS-64 RB by PCGS, did not have a 100% complete date, but it still fetched an impressive $9,400"

I wonder if it got lost among the many other rarities sold during the various auctions during this week?

 

The new owner has got to be ecstatic.

 

I'd say so!

If only there was a lowly MS 62 also for sale....maybe I could have afforded it then (and it would have been interesting to see a price comparison of two similar errors where only the grade was significantly different).
