Fantastic piece, congratulations!

Please allow SPP zap it before any slabbing or certification - it is very important to learn as much as possible from these pieces. We already went throw more than 20 different examples.

Thanks for sharing.

Value?
I would have to do a lot of keyboard searching on near equivalent pieces, before I had a feel for what it may bring in the market place.
I love doing this sort of research, so should you!

Congrats on a very eye-appealing error... looking forward to the pictures with your new camera.

Are you planning to come to Nuphilex? That one definitely needs to be in the show-and-tell-and-beers....

How much would it be worth to buy and flip?.. one just came into the LCS. I know how much they paid for it too. Apparently the lady found it in a roll way back when and was smiling ear to ear when they gave her their offer.

Certification of these errors vary by company. ICCS do not certify these errors, don't even try. CCCS (for 1 single slab) 17.00 plus shipping and taxes. PCGS 60 to 100 depending on declared value for insurance plus other fees. I never send to NGC, my guess is around 20.

Document these coins before slabbing: pro pictures, weight, diameter, thickness and if possible composition through XRF analysis.

I now have it at home.

SPP, please email me with details of how to send it off to you for analysis- I also have a 1980 brown 5 cent piece that I suspect is a wrong alloy/metal mix that I would like to be scanned as well if possible.

One of my bucket list coins crossed off...

A bit of a thread bump but this coin just got mailed back from PCGS today. Photos will be posted once it arrives and I get the cert # to access PCGS professional photos.

I am very pleased with the grade it received.

you think ?!?!? LOL

I'm glad you did, it brings me back to the same time line when I found a twoonie (nunavat) struck on an all white metal planchet, which led me to this community, and afterwards I then sold said twoonie to T_Y ($750) which financed my start into collecting.

so just a shout out to SPP, T_Y and the rest of the coin community family:

thank you all,
