<p>[QUOTE=&quot;The Penny Lady®, post: 649601, member: 16948&quot;]I once had a triple saddle struck cent (1964) where three pennies were sort of squished together into one large coin probably the size of a half dollar, forming a saddle in between them.&nbsp; It was a known intentional error, and the story goes that the mint worker who made them in 1964 and 1965 was arrested and thrown into prison.&nbsp; This error was graded (MS65 I think) and authenticated by NGC, so even intentional errors can be certified.&nbsp; Boy I sure loved that coin since, being a pretty modern coin,&nbsp; most of them are usually full red (I&#039;ve seen them in Fred Weinberg&#039;s case), but the one I had was unique in that it was a beautiful lustrous glowing brown with tinges of golden red highlights, that&#039;s why I liked it so much.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I used to keep it in my show case because it attracted so much attention.&nbsp; I paid about $500 for it and when people asked me for a price, I would jokingly say $1,000 because I didn&#039;t really want to sell it.&nbsp; However, one day, a guy whipped out $1,000 and bought it.&nbsp; Boy, I hated parting with that pretty penny trio and still wish I had it, but at least it went to someone who really appreciated it as much as I did!&nbsp; I hope to one day find another one.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
