my 2nd purchase in the year

OK I previously sold the majority of my collection. Now I'm buying only errors strictly this is my latest and first purchase A 1943 obverse dive brakeit was graded mint state 63... how you like this coin as much as I do I think it's a start unique error what I'd really like to know as if there were any other types of these coins found I tried to pull in to see is that a report and it was nothingplease don't have to take tell me what you think I look when I believe it's a great. Hope you enjoy the image

If your being sarcastic, than yes I do enjoy the images very much.
Other than that, the coin looks nice, though I don't see the error.

 

A cud at the bottom of Lincoln's bust. See picture #2

 

If I read the post right, I think you are thinking of this error like a 3-legged Buffalo or 1955 Cent.
There won't be any others like it in a pop report, but at the same time there are lot's of CUDs. It's a different class of error, like a rotated die or planchet lamination. Not a variety.

I really like it too, though Neat addition!

 

wasn't being sarcastic just saying I hope you like it..

no I don't think its a 55 ddo or anything ,I do understand its a different class of mint error.. I do believe though its worth more then I paid for it.. and then again I feel its rare in a sense that you hardly come across these type of error for that year or much less Wheaties..

 

Kind of depends on what you paid for it. Cuds for all coin types are not particularly "rare" or even particularly interesting, but maybe that's just me.

 

I find them interesting to collect I like errors as something that has come from the u.s.mint messed up I think its cool
Now as far as value goes I think its rarity speaks for itself . try to find a 1943 cud ! Die break and I'm sure it will be tough as crap

 

Paid 250 for it

 

Try not to fall into the trap of "it's worth more than I paid for it" since more often than not, the reason you got it so cheap was either its fairly common or nobody else was interested. In other words, you paid what its really worth.

Don't get me wrong, error collecting can be fun but try not to ever attach a value to the coins you purchase. Just enjoy them for what they are. "Your" collection.

BTW, that's a nice CUD but I just have never gotten into collecting CUD's. If I found one, I'd certainly keep it but I don't think I'd ever buy one. That's just me.

 

Seems to me like you might have purchased more than just the error coin.

This guy only paid $123.38 on July 6, 2014.

well..over paid didn't I..lol

 

but I think to the right venue I believe it could fetch more then what I paid

 

Wow that guy flipped the coin for $100 in almost no time. BTW, you had to twist the knife didn't you.

 

Yes and no. The good news is you only have to find one person to buy it for more. The bad news is you have to find one person to buy it for more.

 

well keep in mind it needs to be re attributed , do to the un~noted error on the reverse

 

No knife twisting. I search Heritage for Die Breaks and this one popped up.
But, whatever.

I stand behind my initial post in simply collect what you like and as an aside, you might want to step back from the value claims since, if you really like it, it doesn't really matter.

Right??

 

And that right venue would be?

 

I know, was just playing with the knife twist thing. If anything you just taught him/her a good lesson... which is search past auctions so that you don't possibly pay more than you need to acquire said coin. In any regard, you are correct... Somethings value is what it is worth to you - from a collector standpoint. There shouldn't be any remorse if you come to find out later that the coin could of been had for cheaper. At least not that much remorse

 

*due

Maybe you should dip it in gold too. That might make it worth more also.

Okay seriously, as previously stated by 19Lyds, if you like it and plan on keeping it, it doesn't matter what the market value is.

 

Well...even if you paid more than it recently sold for, I think it's a neat piece.
