    why two prices on each coin?

    I was wondering how these coins, obviously struck outside cent collars, could be errors. Do the words "Mint Assisted" in your post explain that?

    If there's something for us to learn here, please share Paddy.

    Are you saying that these are likely intentional?

    Even Fred Weinberg himself told me they were intentional aka Mint Assisted :nailbiting:

    Were these found in circulation, or smuggled out of the mint?
    Personally, they don't deserve the astronomical asking prices.
    Are they cool to look at? Yes. Are they worth anything? To me, no they're not.

    They are neat, to a point. I really like the brokage and some of the broadstucks, I like to think a lot are actually accidental errors. The real crazy ones? :rolleyes:

    The above coins were not struck through cents . . . they were struck a second time by cent dies outside the collar.

    If someone used a cent die on an already struck Sac and quarter,
    that's just ridiculous and not worth anything.
    These coins should be confiscated and destroyed.
    Illegal coins, not mint issued/ errors.
