    I have not been following the error Dollars too much, but the pass has shown that when new errors come out the value is high and as the newest wares off the value drops slightly. So I guess the question is, has the value peaked for now? If it has then I would keep the ones of the set(s), set a few aside just in case the value jump which it may in a few years and sell the rest. Good Luck!

    I think he missed the peak two years ago. Back then they were selling like hotcakes for $200 apiece and more Today I see them all over and they don't appear to be moving at $50.

    I agree with Condor, it appears that the peak for these has come and gone.

    A lot depends on what you paid. If you got a good deal, they may be worth selling a few. If you bought them off a shopping network, for example, the odds of them ever becoming more valuable than what you paid diminishes greatly.

    I think they peaked and will drop.

    Thanks,

    I can attest to what Bill is saying. I know the markup they had on the Adams Double edge and smooth edge coins. WHEW!

    When something like that hits, cash in, take the money and run! I have seen dealers letting the Washingtons in NGC slabs go for $25 bucks just to unload them.

    Hello to lucky you with 10 of something I have not found and do not have, Not to be funny but just send one to me and I will trade with you some equal value error. Really that last reply was probably right, there seems to be a peak soon after the find however that is mostly in baseball cards, I feel these are a different bread and you should hang on to them. Coins without a date and or mintmark are rare in any condition or denomination. EDITED--Not a good idea to post a personal email address in an open forum.

    Just about any coin show. Dealers don't want them nor do they want the Adams error coins. Now at the last show I was at there was a gentleman that I introduced to Ken Potter that had found what is to be believed to be the 4th smooth edge for the Madison Dollar, that should have some value. BUT, if I were the one holding that coin, it would be on the auction block as fast as I could get it there.

    I have had a little better luck with the doubled edge lettering pieces lately.. because they are dramatic... people seem willing to spend more money on a dramatic error then a simple missing edge lettering, just my opinion tho :)
