I know the part where in the 70s in San Francisco submit employees went rogue made crazy kinds of coins Hidden in the oil pan Then retrieved by the maintenance crew. Sadly this is basically all I could find on the whole history of these San Francisco proof coins which are crazy. My avatar is one of those nickels where it was one coin at a time meeting such that this could never happen accidentally and never be released even if made accidentally. There’s some real crazy ones out there but I was hoping I could fill in some of the gaps in the story if anyone knows about it I know they were found in the California safety deposit box in auction but this doesn’t seem a lot of information for what seems to be a really cool story the return of vegas Vic Don’t want anybody thinking I’m hiding I was out of coins for a few years I got dragged back in I tried to use the original name but my email isn’t linked to it I have no idea what forms I had or emails passwords so I’m just gonna let it go unless somebody wants to fix it I’ll put a couple of new coins in there for you And of course I’ll add the cat verification photo in case there’s questions about ownership which I still remember was an issue
Bringing this back from the dead. I’m hoping one last try to ask C if somebody knows anything more about the intentional errors that were created in San Francisco in the 70s. My avatar itself is one of those coins it was minted one at a time so there is no way that this type of mistake would be on accident that much we do know but as noted above I don’t have the whole story if anybody does I’d really appreciate it if they could add to this thread thank you I won’t try a third time to pull this up
The San Francisco Hoard was found in a safe deposit box at a San Fran bank. These included many unstruck planchets and other struck errors. As for the a clover Ike, error dealer Jon Sullivan said many of these more fantastic proof errors were offered to him. I imagine Mike Byers also knows the source. Jon Sullivan would not divulge to me from whom he acquired these from.
oh, i am well aware of what a nice guy he is. I wasn't questioning that. He just didn't want to reveal his sources.
I'm pretty sure that Fred Weinberg bought the San Francisco hoard safety deposit contents after the secret service approved the sale.
Actually, I bought it intact from the dealer who bought the group from the Sale, here in Southern Calif.
