Nifty error and nice trade!
This makes me wonder if I should crack my roll of 2010D's open to see If I have one like that one you traded away.

I don't know if I rellllllllllly came out ahead Carl.

After all, I simply swapped out $.01 for $2.50. A $2.49 profit!



That's what I'm planning on claiming anyways...

The ghost of BiggFredd just asked me:
"How could it be slobbed "RD" when it has no copper plating?"

I've seen the same thing with cent dies that struck dime planchets. It must just be in there system that a designation like this must be used or something.

Nice trade for now, but a gut feeling says that the slabbed zinc penny should have been kept. You can always buy gold.

I wondered about that too enworb. My best guess is that RD is the only grade that PCGS could give this coin. It's uncirculated...and it has very nice cartwheel luster...therefore it is "RED" to them.


That's my best uneducated guess for what it's worth...

I can't argue with this. Other than to mention that my gut feeling was different. Only time will tell.

I'm honestly hoping that the zincoln will eventually end up selling for much more sometime in the future. And I'm hoping to see it happen!

Trust me, if it does...and I see it...I'll be bragging about the fact that I found it!


In the meantime, I'm perfectly happy with my 1/4 eagle.


although...I still refuse to buy the gold page for my 7070 just yet. I don't think I could sleep at night thinking about all those other empty holes!

I would have kept it myself, but I can't fault trading it toward a classic Quarter Eagle!

I agree, collect what you like, trade what you do not.
