Love that one!!

 

Love it also, Joe. Very nice D/S. Great eye appeal on a large size coin.

 

Love it!

 

Double strike on a clipped planchet.

 

Sometimes I can't tell if it's clipped, or if it's just a result of being physically distorted from a second strike

 

My question is how does someone come across something like this? Or maybe I should say, how does something like this make it thru to the distribution process? Or are mint employees scooping them up and selling them on the market?

 

Walked out or found in an old Mint bag

 

Gotta return it. Received today and has a staple scratch by the T in LIBERTY

Nothing, and I mean nothing, is worse than a stable scratch. And even if it isn't, it just looks like one, and I have to really really like it if I'm going to keep it

 

From your closeup photo, the mark does look incuse and cuts into coin. I guess the TPG overlooked that, and didn't mention it on the label...

 

So you're saying it may have walked out in someones pocket from the mint?

 

Very cool coin! Worth at least a dollar

 

Face value = $1.00 (.50 X 2).

 

I’d go a buck and a half. Even with the missing chunk. Nice piece Joe

 

Seller said no problem on return.

 

You're actually sending it back?

 

Yes. Unless you want to buy it from me

 

I would ask how much this would cost but I probably couldn't afford it...

 

$900 but it was already returned

 

Ah. No worries lol! It was a nice coin! Shame for the scratch.
