<p>[QUOTE=&quot;JCro57, post: 4669962, member: 92083&quot;]Well, in my opinion it is an error only in that it isn&#039;t struck on an Ike planchet.</p><p><br /></p><p>However, it was forced (a.k.a.

You can&#039;t simply ignore its existence regardless of how it was made at the Mint just like the 1913 Liberty nickel.</p><p><br /></p><p>The term &quot;Mint-assisted Error&quot; reflects it was neither accidental nor authorized. However, many error collectors don&#039;t care and whoppers like these will sell at 5-figure prices all the time.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
