<p>[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 1052035, member: 66"]Sure, Michael Fey finds it interesting....that's nice. So what. All partial collar errors are interesting. I think yours is interesting. And I still think a rare date, or a very rare VAM, with an error will normally sell for less than what a perfect one would sell for for the reasons I have already stated. A date or variety collector would rather have a perfect one, and an error collector would rather have the error on a common date piece because they don't want to pay an extra premium to get the error they want. The ONLY person who would have a n interest in such a coin is someone who is putting together a date set that also are all error coins How many of such collectors exist? VERY VERY few. Now prices are set by supply and demand. Demand from th error people will be low. Demand from the date and mint people will probably be higher than the error people but lower than it would be for perfect coins, and then above those is the demand from what the couple of people who actually want the date with the error. If you don't get a couple of really desperate such collectors it will sell for less than a normal coin. I've seen something like this happen with terminal die state collectors. At one auction where there were two rabid such collectors present record prices were set. But then when that person sold his collection the other die state collector was then able to buy the same coins for a quarter of what they brought previously. If you want to get a really high price for this you are going to need several people who are putting together date and mint sets of error dollars. I don't think they are out there. Even the one who has spoken up has mentioned a top price less than the guide price of a non-error coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>I'm not saying it isn't a neat coin, I'm just saying it most likely isn't worth more than one without the error.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
