Follow-up Report: Extra Spike on Statue of Liberty? - Hayes Pres Dollar

Hi all,

Yet another follow-up report. This is the coin:


This is the original post: http://www.cointalk.com/t210053/

Turns out this wasn't a die scratch or gouge... rather it is a:
New listing. DDR-001, 1-R-VIII, state A, EDS. Graded MS-66 and MS-64.



I sent these off to a CONECA attributor (who was very helpful), he informed me that this was a new listing. Then he forwarded to ANACS for me. Just received these via FEDEX today.

My favorite part of this is the "FIRST REPORTED" printed on the MS-66.

Not bad for a newb, eh? Who woulda thunk it?

Good for you!

Cool man, sharp eyes! I am glad you didn't let naysayers convince you otherwise.

 

Many thanks. I had my doubts as well. If the line wouldn't have been parallel, I might not have submitted these. Glad I sent these in, it's fun having a unique slabbed find

 

whats this error and which coins iv got a roll of mixed ones

 

I don't buy it. To have the die offset that far and to have that shallow a design feature impressed into the die there would be a LOT more doubling of the deeper portions of the design. In this case there would be an entire jaw of Liberty in the space between the existing chin and Liberty's arm. If the hub was shifted or rotated to put a ray in that location most of Liberty's head would be sunk into the die before that ray made contact with the die. It should create a doubled die that you would clearly see at arms length.

 

To show how newby I am... I'd like to pose a question. What does DMR mean? I know DDR, but DMR is new to me. Thanks!

 

The error is the extra spike on the Statue of Liberty. If you see the first pic in my post, it is a raised line just above the spike that touches the arm. I only found this on the Hayes Presidential Dollar. I've looked through about 800 Presidential Dollars (mostly 2010 and 2011) and haven't found anything similar. I also checked other listings and haven't found any other DDRs that were similar.

 

Congrats! :hail:
That's awesome

 

This is the same type of doubling as the Minnesota extra tree coins. I am the one that found the first ones of them and we had a heck of a time figuring out for sure what they were. finally we found the exact tree that the extra tree coins came from and was able to identify them as a doubled die.. as far as I know this type doubling started out on the 84 cent as the extra ear coin then the 97 doubled ear cent then the extra tree coins. there are probably some I left out that may be in between these dates. the extra tree coins opened up a can of worms and has got a lot of folks interested in variety and error coins.

Congrats on a nice find there John

 

You just HAD to top John, didn't you? Why can't you just let him enjoy his moment of glory?

 

That's really COOL!!

You oughta list the "first" coin on eBay with a BIN/Best Offer @ $1,000,000...just to see what kind of offers you get. Worst case scenario...

 

You know, it's funny you say that. I was thinking about listing for my ultimate goal price (that is, the price I'd like to one day sell a coin for) of $10,000. A cool million sounds good too.
