That first link does not work for me, but I know the coin (and the "eagle side" is the same for most 5M coins anyway). Now please tell me, Clinker, what on earth happened to that poor second piece? Never seen anything like that before - did the NGC "label" somehow get printed onto the coin? Christian
Hi Christian... Don't really know. What you saw and read on the website entry is what I know. Looked interesting so I shared my discovery... Clinker
Tried to find more info about this error but only came up with this http://www.sixbid.com/nav.php?p=viewlot&sid=426&lot=20423 which is basically the same description that you provided. Oh well, the error sure looks interesting. Thanks for showing it here! Christian
