coin (pictured)fed into striking chamber on top of a previously struck nickel, struck once but not ejected, slight movement, between the two coins in the striking chamber, then struck a second time. If tripled, then a third time etc That is the only way this coin could be struck with out human assistance. A spectacular coin. I still want it.

Wonderful example of Murphy's Law.
Whatever can go wrong---will.
When will the Mint install simple laser detectors to regect errors?

Didn't you sell that coin more than a year ago, to a big coin dealer from Cape Breton?

Sorry about the magical act on the photos!
SPP- there was a misunderstanding with the dealer so the coin was sold to a gentlemen in Inverness Nova Scotia.
I repurchased the coin at a later date while at a family function in Truro Nova Scotia.

Inverness.... now that place brings back some memories...
I grew up just up the coast from there, in Margaree Valley - we used to go to Inverness, as teenagers, to try and sneak into the Hoff underage...

If one could discover the crushed coin to make a matched set, it could be a new record error in the Coin World. Rumors of "an inside job " would blossom ! |
