It was a typo error and I had to fix it .
My turn to take the beating ..

 

I'm expecting a really cool error coin in the mail today. Might be able to post a pic before work.

 

Here's a nice 1954-S BIE Error .

 

How did you get a specific grade, Au-53, on a blank planchet?

 

The same way you get this:

 

I've lost a lot of respect for PCGS

 

Got this Silver Eagle in the mail today, it's the 2013 Enhanced Uncirculated, struck off center from West Point. You would think that with a mintage just under 250,000, that theyd all be perfect right? This one made it past the inspector.


I bought this one for 30.00 bucks. Didn't notice the strike was that much off center from the eBay pics... But here it is.

 

I don't think it's from the US mint either .

 

Here a copper Lincoln that I acquired not too long ago.

 

Here is the other half of that one, my tablet ran of of memory or something.

 

Wow, that is very cool! Never seen anything like it. The rock must've between pretty hard.. Harder than copper at least. You would almost have to think that some mint employee did that on purpose and saved the rock that made the impression on both coins... IDK, but I'm interested in that should you ever decide to sell...

 

That's the way I bought it. Even with a 30x there are no signs of any strike but it does show light signs of wear. I can only speculate that coins were so scarce in circulation everyone knew what is was and used it as such until it fell into someone's hands that was more interested in the coin than it's face value.

 

Would you like your very own?

 

You're a pistol! I would send a box of those to PCGS "without payment".....you think they would get the message?

 

These are some that I already had photos of :

Now this I love... More like a Delamination!

 

It popped off when I was putting it back in it's flip with an audible ping , I thought I had ruined one of my favorite lams !
