    Hi all, ive had my eye on an auction that ends in 4 hours on ebay.. Its a ANACS ms64 RB 2001 D dime missing the clad on both sides. I have no idea what my max bid on this coin should be, any advice is appreciated! :)

    I "moused over" the close-ups of the coin, and I'm not particularly fond of all of the black spots on both sides of the coin. If I were bidding (which I'm not!) I'd try to get it as cheaply as possible.

    Personally, I'd be concerned that those black spots might get worse. I don't care what ANACS thinks of it!

    Thanks for the advice! I noticed the spots but never thought they may begin to spread.. I may place a bid but nothing above $25? Or do you think that's still too high? Thanks again!

    If you're using a sniping service, you can set that as your max bid. You might get it cheaper if there are no other bids higher than the current one.

    $25 is not too high . . .

    How much would you suggest paying? I dont have any idea how much this coin is worth, but I've always been interested in this type of error and hoped I might be able to grab this coin for a decent price.

    It's coincidental that this coin is a 2001-D 10c. I happen to have a 2001-D Kennedy missing the reverse clad layer. I found it in a Mint bag, and it is just as lustrous today as it was when I found it.

    Again, I don't like all of the black spots on the dime, but that is just my opinion.

    That is one beautiful coin! Can't imagine how a half made it out of the mint like that. Great find.

    Agreed! They're easier to spot unless the reverse is "face down" on the production line.

    FWIW, it was one-of-two (known) that were discovered in the $100 Mixed P&D Mint bags. The person who found the other sold it raw on eBay for $555.

    When going through original mint bags, the odds of finding something very special are pretty darned low, however, when you do find something, it is almost always in fantastic condition.

    I believe the only error coin I ever found in all of the mint bags I searched was an Ike Dollar struck through reeding . . . just one error coin, but a really nice one.

    Sounds like a nice coin! Have you posted any pics on the forums?

    Not of that coin. It's been tucked away in a SDB for perhaps 20+ years.

    Ah I see. They used to sell ike's in mint bags too? I didn't realize that.

    Don't get me wrong. I loved buying the bags from the Mint, but they're not unlike playing a slot machine when looking for errors. I also bought bags of SQ's and Sac dollars, and I had far greater success finding high-grade specimens. As a rule, MS68 was the optimal grade from bags, and I usually sold them for $150+ which made the purchase and submission for grading very profitable.

    Actually, I preferred buying bags in larger quantities because it gave you better odds of finding something worthwhile and reducing the initial purchase price at the same time.

    Woah.. doesn't sound like a bad deal! Didn't realize people would pay that high a premium for modern 68's! have you ever found any other errors worth mentioning in mint bags?

    If you are able, check the NGC and/or PCGS Census numbers for P&D business strikes (not satin finish). You will get a good idea which ones are scarce (especially for the Registry Sets).

    I've found a few error progressions with multiples of each stage, but I'd rather not discuss them at this time. I plan on putting together presentations for some of them.
