<p>[QUOTE=&quot;C-B-D, post: 1826615, member: 43130&quot;]Check this out. Guy orders a sight unseen proof from a major dealer and receives this. NGC slabs it and he makes a small fortune on this, the discovery piece. <u>Should he have informed the seller, returned it, shared the discovery fame, or split the sale profits?</u> Not in my opinion.</p><p><b>2007-W “Frosted Freedom” Proof Platinum Eagle</b></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://platinumeagleguide.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/frosted-freedom.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Several years after the original release, a die polishing error was identified across three of the denominations of the 2007-W Proof American Platinum Eagle. The reverse design for this year contains a representation of the executive branch of government with a depiction of an eagle with wings spread. A shield is placed at the eagle’s chest with a ribbon draped across containing the word “FREEDOM”.</p><p><br /></p><p>On typically encountered coins, the word “FREEDOM” will appear mirrored similar to the background fields. On the error, the words appear frosted similar to the appearance of the eagle and other inscriptions.</p><p><br /></p><p>The US Mint provided information on the total number of error coins struck and potentially distributed to collectors as 12 one ounce coins, 21 one-half ounce coins, and 21 one-quarter ounce coins. Very few pieces have been identified since the discovery was publicized. The one ounce discovery specimen reportedly sold for $45,000 in trade.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
