This is a packaging error not a mint error. These typically bring about a dollar more than a normal set as a novelty .
Very reminiscent of what Matthew Bolton did with the British penny and two pence in 1797.
That will happen when he gets them slabbed.
No, they are merely coins sent to the TPG during the first thirty days after they were first released. They could have been struck last week from...
Make that 1973 and I'll agree. From 68 to 73 cameo is kind of hit or miss and deep cameo is unusual but they can be found. After 73 strong...
Draped bust large cents (followed by any early large cent, any large cent, Conder tokens, and just recently I've started collecting 5 kopeks of...

It may be illegal but as long as the state gets their money they are not likely to come checking to see if the dealer collected it or paid it...
One of the problems with trying to attempt such a study is that no two coins will have the same surface conditions, the same crud, the same toning...
For those who say the coin is ruined, believe it or not these altered 1815's tend to bring some good money. Dan Holmes had three of them in his...
