It's amazing to see what people come up with for "rare error coins". Latest one I've seen is a seller listing "1888/7 Indians" for ~$50 drawing arrows in incorrect places and saying that he has "many of them". A coin with 75 examples known so far and he has a bunch, LOL.

Hey, this is better than the lot of Greek coins I bought with actual dates of "239 B.C." on them. Not only very old, but they knew when the division in dates would occur 239 years in advance. I also believe they were the first laminated cupric-nickel coins in history. I'm in total amazement that a penny could be perfectly in half at the mint, then one half flipped and welded back together from the stamping process. You sure don't see that every day. If they had two I'd take both, but I need a set, not a single one. Do you suppose he could find another if I told him that?

Good thing he put the $6K valuation on the flip so I have a bidding point.

Now that's sad, and so obvious. Actually, I don't think he tried too hard, I don't think he tried at all.

I am no expert but I do know this is a rare error or someone really had a great skill. And I am no expert but that looks like a load to me! Who ever did that did not have a great skill.  |
