Not sure what's going on with this one. the mintage: P - 84,560,000 D - 87,780,000 S - 3,362,237 (proof) Other presidential coins from 2007 have mintages in the 100 millions But the next year issues are much lower than the Madison coin.  and are selling for 2 dollars or so. On ebay, if I did a search for James Madison dollar with the dates of his presidency, I get responses with crazy prices, but if I do a search without the extra dates, I get normal pricing for one. |

Looks like a harshly circulated Presidential dollar, value $1. Maybe they thought it was gold, or misunderstood that the strike year is on the edge? |

Have to point us at the auction so we can read the description, but $500 value is bunk.
There are a couple of errors involving doubled or missing edge lettering, but even those are valuable only in mint state.

misunderstood that the strike year is on the edge These regularly appear on ebay. Seller represents it as minted in the year on the obverse with a bid price similar to the one Moniker is showing. Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures

I have no idea why priced so high. The auction page doesn't really give any information as why either.

This auction house (Auctionet) is not really an auction house directly -- they list auctions by other auction houses. "We are a marketplace where auction houses from all over Europe sell furniture, art, design items, collectibles and more." https://auctionet.com/en/aboutThis item is being sold through https://ra-auktionsverket.se -- they're hardly coin specialists and probably don't know what they're doing here. |

Very sad. Just a normal heavily circulated dollar coin.
Errers and Varietys.
