Error Coin on the Bay!

There's this gold coin on ebay, 1903 McKinley Gold Dollar and the seller has it listed as an error, I don't think so, but what you all think? And check out that sale price!

No way! I'm not stepping in what they are. Maybe someone was trying to make something out of it?

 

It was mounted to a pin or something similar.

It seems kinda silly to me to think that the mint could have produced that. There would have to be a big hole in the die but then where did the metal come from to fill it?

 

It is damaged, it had been mounted (as pehaps a button, cufflink, pin, etc), and has had the mount badly removed - you can even see where the additional gold was soldered.

 

it's definitely not a mint error of any kind.

 

Another bizarre listing on the bay! Yeah this seller is out to get a stupid buyer to buy his gold, that's eff'd up!

 

Worth bullion.

 

Looks ex-jewelry. But, since it's a McKinley gold dollar, it's likely to still bring a good $300-350.

 

My money is on a cufflink.

 

Ex-jewelry of some kind but not a mint error.
