chuckster 125 Pillar of the Community United States 4113 Posts	Posted 04/17/2011 11:23 am Can anyone tell me the final outcome regarding this coin? Supposedly it was found by Bill Crawford, then subsequently it was stolen from him, then there was a big controversy about whether it really ever existed etc, and now : *The 2012 Red Book, which I just got in, has this coin listed on Page 120- 1996 Wide AM. This coin legit or not? Thanks for any info/insight on this. Chuck. Report this Post to the Staff

chuckster 125 Pillar of the Community United States 4113 Posts	Posted 04/17/2011 1:25 pm fioti: no value given, just a dash under MS65 grade. BadThad: This is what amazes me sometimes about coins in books. Here you have a coin that may/may not exist listed, yet a legitimate doubled die like a real nice 1994P DDR-001 (like my avatar!) is not listed in the Red-Book!

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/17/2011 8:29 pm I have strong suspicions on this coin. Probably one created and not mint atruck. If there were more why hasn't anyone found more of them? Report this Post to the Staff
