If I ever get the money to really do some searching, it will be mint sewn bags of coins. I've only done 3 do far, 1959 Cent, 1960-D Cent and a 1974-D cent bag. I want to be able to search larger denominations.
IIRC, the only "mint bags" you can get are things like a few hundred dollars of halves or brass bucks. Stuff like cents comes in $5000 face super bags weighing a couple tons, designed for automated high volume users. |

tbh, I think its fake.
I could be wrong but.
Look at the edge near Liberty's base. Looks like grinding to me.
i certainty wouldnt be taking this large of a risk.

I think that has to do with the design, Liberty's gown.

If you look at the fields, you can see kinda a shadow of a "rim" around the edge. That would be there because the dime planchet had already been through the upsetting machine, which raises and work-hardens the rim of the blank before striking. I think that's what's causing the distortion in liberty's gown near the edge and one of the reasons why it looks genuine to me.

here are pics of the coin, I have run across so many threads where the ebay auction is older than 60 days and I can't see the photo.   |

The price is not too surprising considering that this would be one of the greatest 21st century errors available. Nice dramatic errors like that are almost impossible to find now with new QC measures. That is still some serious cash though  |

Here are screen shots of the final sale and rest of the ebay page. I can't believe that went for $11,200!    |

I would kindly ask him to confirm that in writing via a certified letter before bidding. As a seller, my reply would be "thank you for your interest, sorry my guarantee is not good enough for you." I'm not about to spend money sending certified letters to every looky-loo on ebay. Quote:
I just can't see this error happening by accident at the Mint in 2008.
There are Ike's struck on dime planchets. Those are insane! Off planchet errors have been happening for 100 years or more, what's changed in the last three years? |
