I received my subscriber piece then. Some time towards end February the rumor started circulating among collectors at our local coin club, that some local dealers had been approached by the IGCMC about recalling error coins. One dealer, who is well acquainted with the IGCMC top brass, told me that someone had discovered in February that there is a letter missing from the coin.</p><p>The coin was never withdrawn, as this is a non-circulating commem. The only thing the IGCMC could do is to halt sales to subscribers who mailed their order forms late, halt the sales to dealers, stop selling these coins over the counter, and offer to exchange error coins for &quot;good&quot; ones (strange offer, though, considering that the error coins are worth much more that the soon-to-be-released &quot;good&quot; coins).</p><p>How rare these error coins really are, can be seen on the website of the top US dealer in Israel gold coins, Commem.com: <a href="http://www.commem.com/prod02a1.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.commem.com/prod02a1.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.commem.com/prod02a1.htm</a> (one line from bottom).</p><p>He has all Israel gold coins since 1960, but not this one!</p><p>Interesting...![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
