I may be young at heart but I am NOT still wet behind the ears or came down in the last shower. IMHO You posted this thread with the intention of getting a recommendation from the learned forum members to be able to quote them when you sell these coins. I am not one of the "Sheep" and can form my own judgment and make my own analysis of the coins you posted. I for one am NOT convinced of the authenticity of your claims about a "Wrong Planchet". Calling me a 15 year old because I disagree with you is quite childish on your part and quite frankly I find it disagreeable . If you were really serious you would have sent the coin off to a TPG to ascertain the authenticity of your coin instead of blithely bleeding the brains trust here.

My nan brought me up to respect my elders but if your good enough to give it your good enough to take it and I have to say you are wrong. Before finding this coin I did not know the first thing about PCGS ANDA emailing the mint, finding and emailing dealers I did not even know what to do with it. The first thing I did was ask on here I thought someone might of been able to point me in the right direction.... or help me "thank you markin" but just about everyone who replied were to bizzy picking it to death and not being helpful at all. So I have had to find out everything my self from scratch. I am a mother of 2 that runs a small business takes care of the house I do everything with limited time I just cant drop everything to go off and see about a coin I have to plan just to go to the frekin SHOP! you must have plenty of free time to think I can go just like that. Oh and just so you know for your piece of mind the coin is going to a TPG how do you think its going to be auctioned? maby I might have a stand out in the mall with a mallet "Can I get dhdfiuhiuddhfidsddfkhgddiifudghisdghfiu SOLD!"  I'm not trying to wet ya whistle

actually when I asked the question I was curious if you would be selling it as a genuine error coin on ebay. we have all seen the ebay sales that make claims that are not true/verified in the hope that someone will buy the coin/note for a huge amount above its actual value. it gives the numismatic world a bad name and is why people don't want to start collecting in the 1st place, I know I have been ripped of in the past by a lack of experience and a person who has more than me who assured me that they are right only for me to later find out they were not now if you get a TPG to verify the error, slab it and then sell it I think no one here will fault you Candice and I truly hope you get a good price.

Candace well done on your story in the coin and banknote magazine I think I might have a solution to it about a year ago I had a split planchet 20c that weighed 9.5 grams could this have been a split planchet before it was pressed as to why you cant find a planchet that size and weight just a thought I also spoke to tony bynes and he said he had a women from wagga who had a hard coin to crack anyway well done I will see if I can find the picture of my split 20c

so would it be possible for a planchet to split before pressing any one know the answer I think the weight would be different on all the split planchet but it does sound possible if it was it would be very rare I think
