<p>[QUOTE="No_Ragrets, post: 25526829, member: 151874"]Now onto the stuff that isn't mine. One of the trays I was looking at had this '55 DDO in it, which I thought was pretty cool! I've never seen one in person before, so this was my first time holding one. Crazy to think it's a $10k penny, but I totally get it. </p><p><br /></p><p>While I was there, another kind gentleman came in and was talking with the shop owner when I overhead "penny struck on a dime planchet." Naturally, my ears perked up and we all started talking about it. He said he had gotten it from a bank when he cashed a check in the 90's (I believe) and has had it ever since. He found one very similar to his online and did some research. Ends up there's about 20 of them known, and the shop owner was saying it must have been a deliberately struck error by a mint employee because... well, I forget the whole explanation actually lol! But yeah, totally awesome to see some eye candy errors today![ATTACH=full]1634969[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1634970[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1634971[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1634972[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1634973[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
