I found 1 on ebay for 700$ certified. But idk if thats crazy to charge that high because I have found this one. I thought I was the first to have found this error cause I have never heard of it... what's its actual value??
You mean this listing?.. The answer is no. It is not worth $700.00 It shoud not be worth even $7.00 Anyone can put whatever value they want on their item. That coin will never sell! https://www.ebay.com/itm/2019-P-LIN...189363?hash=item2cff3476b3:g:sQ4AAOSwNJtdOkcl
Probably struck from an obverse die that was heavily polished to remove some damage or clash marks. The polishing removed some of the details around the neck. This would be similar to the "floating roof" varieties for the memorial reverse. IMO, I think it's pretty cool, but as @paddyman98 said, it is hardly worth that price. EBay sellers can ask for anything they want, that doesn't mean it will sell. Whoever sent that coin to ICG is in over their head just in grading fees. In uncirculated condition, it might be worth a few bucks if you could find the right buyer. Pics of your coin would be helpful to confirm what you have
It doesn't look like a "floating head" to me. Anyone who would pay anywhere near that much for that coin has to have a "floating head". (hollow, empty, no brains)
Here is the article about the “discovery” https://www.numismaticnews.net/article/new-floating-head-variety-discovered
Welcome to CT @Justin Sr. The coin you mentioned should have been listed at Etsy as they are a treasure trove of stupid, senseless, overpriced items. Floating devices on coins are usually the results of intentional die abrasion, or as mentioned, an over polished die.

I like your idea Mountain Man. I'm going to check it out also thanks and be safe! Welcome to CT Justin good luck
To anyone who knows about errors and understands over polished dies, worth maybe a quarter. To people who don't and fall for hype, who knows. If you look long and hard enough you can find "floating heads" or "no neck" cents from many different years. The neck is one of the areas of lowest relief so it tends to disappear if they start polishing the dies too aggressively.
I have a bag of no neck nickels and a few pennies as well. I call them my Marie Antoinette coins (guillotined). (I had wanted to inquire about them. Now I don’t need to)
I'd pay $10 for a raw BU one and possibly $20 slabbed by any TPGS. They are similar to the 3-legged nickel - just an over-polished die. At $700, the owner is trolling for the ignorant. At $20 most here will think I'm one of them.
