Mabye... I never thought of that... but how would it get into circulation AND stay there until it became VF? Don't you think somebody would have taken it out of circulation by then? Lets buy it and add it to the Perpetual Giveaway set!

I think not - especially on the obverse and closeup reverse pics, you can see overstamped characters. I don't know if what hit it was deliberate, but it definitely imparted overstamp characteristics to the coin. I am Watching it with a serious eye towards purchase.

These two auctions give credence to the argument that there's a lot of illiteracy out there. Not to mention downright stupidity...
...Say, I've got this ultra-rare 1964 nickel...

There were only 350,000 of those minted. With approximately 1,000,000 Morgan collectors, that means that 650,000 of them will never own a 1889cc. They don't want that coin because of the damage, they want that coin in spite of the damage.

Becky, I understand that. I was just kidding around.  Still to me its like selling an 1970 AAR Plymouth Cuda.In new condition right now they can go for over 1 million dollars because of its rareity,but if its totaled it would be worthless other that to say you own one.
