Sap Moderator Australia 16845 Posts	Posted 03/28/2010 09:15 am I count five times - two of the 1 cent impressions are doubled. But this can't be a genuine "mint error", surely... the 1978 cents have been "struck onto" a finished 1974 silver Montreal Olympics coin - looks like the "Temple of Zeus" $10. I realise that these Olympics coins were spectacularly unsuccessful sellers, but I can't imagine them being so disposable as to be used as scrap metal by the mint for testing die alignments or whatever. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff

Because buddy at the mint brought his basically worthless Olympic coin into work one day in 1978 and had some fun during his lunch break. Security was bad back then? Report this Post to the Staff
