Now THAT I would consider an error. Not the usual garbage we're seeing touted these days in U.S. coinage.
Here's a few: http://cgi.ebay.com/Rare-20-Pence-Coin-UNDATED-MINT-ERROR-collectable_W0QQitemZ320392486865QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item4a98e15fd1&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=65%3A10%7C66%3A2%7C39%3A1%7C293%3A2%7C294%3A50 http://cgi.ebay.com/a-collectors-item-20-pence-peice_W0QQitemZ220446262301QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item33539f041d&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=65%3A10%7C66%3A2%7C39%3A1%7C293%3A2%7C294%3A50 http://cgi.ebay.com/Rare-20p-coin-Undated-Royal-Mint-Mule-Error_W0QQitemZ190318563524QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item2c4fded0c4&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=65%3A10%7C66%3A2%7C39%3A1%7C293%3A3%7C294%3A50 http://cgi.ebay.com/20p-COIN-RARE-M...c0.m14&_trkparms=65:10|66:2|39:1|293:3|294:50 http://cgi.ebay.com/Genuine-UNDATED...c0.m14&_trkparms=65:10|66:2|39:1|293:3|294:50 Ribbit
I found one that I thought would stay cheap, since the seller didn't post pics and I even emailed it to someone I thought might want one cheap (I think the seller is on the up-n-up) but I was wrong: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=180375752165 I've seen what the other ones sell for and I figured this would be less than half of what the others brought, but whoa! Now I'm confused! :goofer: Ribbit
If you can't live without one of these, then here's the auction for you: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Genuine-UNDATED-20p-Mule-1852-Gold-US-1-coin-RARE_W0QQitemZ270420824984 Ribbit :goof:
Or maybe 200,000. (Also see this thread http://www.cointalk.com/forum/t59150/ about the same topic.) Neat error? Yes. Biggest rarity? I doubt it. Christian
There is an estimate of 50,000 to 200,000 of them. It's hardly a rarity, but it is fun for the locals to find them in their change. By now, most of them will be out of circulation, I expect.
