    Some of you may know about my love for moose, coins, cheap bum wine, and TRAINS.
    This May being my birth month I've been looking for something special, and by golly I found it.
    At first I was thinking a gold coin maybe a 2008-W Buffalo, type 1 $20 Liberty, the $3 gold piece I once owned no luck till this AM.
    These are the sellers images, ok I may have used PhotoScape on them.

    I'm thinking of calling ANACS (tomorrow) about reversing the coin so the trains in the front of the slab.
    And to top it off flip the serial number label so it's readable when I look at the coin.

    A beautiful error on a nice looking coin. At least the trains are on a parallel course so there’s no chance of them crashing into each other. Lol

    Wow! Quite an error. As a collector of Nebraska medals, I sure wish I would have found it. But it obviously has a good home with you.

    Well, first of all I'm jealous. You have something very special, it's a keeper. Thanks for sharing it.

    I saw full sets of the double struck Heraldic Art copper restrikes on fleaBay a month or so ago. There were a few standard copper restrikes making the rounds as well. I figured that new sets were being offered up.

    I can't afford to buy everything. I am pretty much tapped out for a while.
