Here is an even closer view of the "struck through" error on my 2106-W Walking Liberty Centennial coin. If anyone has a better explanation for this anomaly, please offer it. Struck through may be right but I am just not sure because it looks different than other such errors that I have.  |

Hello Clair, If I may, That possible strike through looks interesting, to me it appears to be a possible damaged die. I wonder how many dies were used to produce these, to date? PS, Love your suggestion about the celebratory Morgan silver dollars for the Anniversary too...... |

morgans dad, if you rotate the above image 180 degrees, it does that optical illusion thing where it looks inverted in 3 dimensions and gives an idea of what the die (plus any contaminants) must have looked like if these anomalies were present at the time of striking. It looks like there is just some crud (scientific term) sitting in the depression of the die that forms the lettering.  Edited by clairhardesty

What are the numbers today on sales of the SLQ and the LWH? Was price the only reason the gold dimes sold out so fast? MS condition SLQ's really are sublime. They are a beautiful coin as is the LWH dollar. I guess the price is knocking people back since gold is selling below $1200 an ounce.

The dimes sold out quickly because the household limit was 10. That limit initially put a lot of coins in fewer people's hands and made it easier for speculators to corner the market.

Westernsky That is what I thought. I bet speculators had all their friends and relatives buy ten coins and they got 100 instead of ten. I would like one but will not pay those prices for the so-called MS70 examples I see on ebay. I got the quarter and half dollar and I think they were expensive, no doubt. I think they should do all the classic coins including Morgans, Peace dollars, Indian Head pennies etc. I think the Mint should size the coins as they were originally even if it means adding some base metal for the final 10%. |

You can get a 70 grade gold Mercury for around $260...that's very close to what it would have cost to send in a raw one yourself and MAYBE get a 70 back.
Not an unreasonable price

The price on the gold dimes fell like a rock a few months after the coins were issued and is now around issue price. If gold keeps dropping they are going to be below issue price soon.
The "window of opportunity" for the speculators closed up pretty quick on this one.

For those still considering a Gold Walker Half there is a good possibility of these dropping to $815/ea before Christmas. Gold spot falling under $1150 will do the trick.

I just got an email from the mint announcing the gold Mercury dime will be issued again December 15 price to be determined. This is the one I was unable to get due to speculators. |
