Honestly I am having a hard time believing this is real. If it was, why didnt the guy get this graded, even if he does prefer his coins raw I think he could get more money if it was certified. On the flip side at least he is stating

"I never really planned on ever selling this coin so I never bothered to get it certified and besides, I personally prefer my coins raw. Things came up unexpectedly and now I have to sell this coin. It's raw but I guarantee it's genuine and I'll put my money on it.If you send this coin to PCGS, NGC or ANACS and it doesn't come back as genuine, just send it back to me along with your certification form and I'll refund you 110% plus your grading cost! You will get back %10 of your purchase price on top of your full refund plus grading cost if it does not come back as genuine. No one else would give you this guarantee but I will."



Hopefully it is real

 

It is very neat, but no I don't think I would pay that much for it. But of course, I am not that into error coins. I think I will watch it however just to see how high it gets.

 

Thanks for the FREE shipping

 

I, too, am having a hard time with this one. The Dollar Coins are struck in a completely different room than other denominations. (I got to take a peek into the room where Dollar Coins are struck at the Denver Mint on Friday during the floor tour with ANA.) I cannot understand how a dime planchet could become mixed in with dollar planchets as the operation is completely separate. On purpose perhaps? It has happened before (many times).

 

I think it's awesome how well the portrait centered up on the planchet.
It is amazingly well placed considering chances are far greater it would be struck offset and be an ugly coin.

 

Good point, I think that helps to validate Hobo's suggestion that it was intentional.

 

I am pretty surprised he wouldn't have got it slabbed.

 

Went for $11,200!!

 

$11,200!

 

$ 11,200.00 :hail:

 

Wow!!!!

 

Doh!
Ya beat me!


It was $6885 until 9 seconds.
In that 9 seconds, it got a 7k bid, and the final must have been an auto-bid because it hit at 1 sec.

 

Moon money for an extreme rarity. You just don't see off-denom errors much any more since the mint changed their policy on errors after leaving the mint.

 

LOL, I didn't bid on it..

 

Tomorrow they will put up the other 24 from the mint roll :dead-horse:

 

That's just danged stupid money.

Well, "stupid is as stupid does, sir".....(Forrest Gump)

 

Yeah, I wouldn't pay that even if I had it to burn!

 

hahaha thats very funny. It could happen !!!
Such a great error though. It may be worth over 100k 20 yrs from now.

 

I agree, it's alot of money. That said, it will be interesting to find out how much it sells for after it's graded. It must have been struck intentionally by someone at the mint, that is for sure!
