11 Cent coin, made by US Mint!!

Only since 2000 when those folks were caught smuggling out the Sacagawea Mules.

Didn't they try that on Gilligan's Island?

 

The old boy was a PITA for sure, but I kind of miss his antics at times. Takes a lot of love to devote one's life to plugging a coin....

 

Haha, sorry to have sounded like that guy. I assure you I do not have such a coin in my inventory or it would not be on the eBay chopping block.

 

Never a chance old fellow. We knew it not to be you. The other guy had a tendency to glorify his acquisition.......with a provenance......and a whole load of bull dinky.....

 

Old boy must have been banned. I can't find him among the current community.......

 

I remember his coin and just now remembered that "Accugrade" spit spit holder it was in. did he or we ever come up with a price for his priceless coin ??? it was a cool coin but that Accugrade spit spit holder/slab has to go. lol

 

This is the only thing that I currently hold with some amazing provenance: http://www.winsociety.org/newsletter/vol-7/A-Tale-of-Love-Tokens.html

 

He may have left since he did take a lot of abuse the last time around. I wouldn't blame him.

 

he might come back knowing another coin similar to his is on the market.

 

While cool, its not a rare item. A friend of mine has 8 of them on his website right now for sale. Yes all legit and slabbed.

your friend has the most amazing error coins. wow.

 

The planchets and finished coins are transported around the mint in large tote bins. Take a bin filled with finished dimes, empty it. Sometimes a few coins will get stuck in the seams of the bin or in the edges of the tote bin door. Now fill the bin with cent planchets. These planchets dislodge one of the struck dimes from a seam and it gets mixed in with the cent planchets. The planchets get dumped into the feed hopper of the cent press. Being slightly smaller than a cent the struck dime passes through the feed tubes, the feed fingers can accept it so gets fed into the coining chamber and is struck by the cent dies creating the 11 cent piece.

Hope that explains it.

 

Easy fix for that then, different colored and marked bins for each coin. You only need 6 colors for the six current (coins) the government produces. We did that at my factory and the problem was solved. It should be an ISO mandated fix also.

 

Sullivan Numismatics is where I got this nice error last week..
1953-D Franklin Half - Struck Through String

 

I agree - wish I had some $$$ for a few of those...

 

I liked Redwin's much better.
