Dave42 Pillar of the Community United States 571 Posts	Posted 12/24/2011 9:12 pm Just a bit over priced... I think a couple bucks would be the most an experienced error collector might pay. Dropped letters don't usually command too much of a premium, and the doubling at best is just Machine Doubling, which does not command any premium at all. Dave Report this Post to the Staff
macmercury Pillar of the Community United States 5832 Posts	Posted 12/24/2011 9:23 pm I remembered I saw Fred Weinberg have one sold on ebay a month or two ago, and it went for few hundreds if my memory serve me right. Report this Post to the Staff

They are interesting errors and people do appreciate them as the rare items they are. Quote: I remembered I saw Fred Weinberg have one sold on ebay a month or two ago, and it went for few hundreds if my memory serve me right. He has had 2 or 3 up in the last month or so. All of them were on state/territory quarters I believe. They too were sold at strong prices. Happy Holidays Report this Post to the Staff
mikediamond Pillar of the Community United States 2738 Posts	Posted 12/25/2011 10:38 am Until that most recent ebay auction, dropped letters had been consistently selling for well under $100. I've never gotten more than $50 for one on ebay. Error coin writer and researcher. Report this Post to the Staff
jasper62 Pillar of the Community United States 2189 Posts	Posted 12/25/2011 12:28 pm OK I give up.What is a dropped T ? I've looked at the pictures in the auction but I don't see anything spectaculer enough to call for ten grand and I thought the Mint Mark was applied to the hub which would make a Double MM impossible unless it's just die chatter?

I've never gotten more than $50 for one on ebay. Do you think these received strong bidding due to their series/denomination? I looked back at the two most recenet that sold and they were the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico quarters. It seems like people will pay for these errors since there have been very few released. Edited to add: jasper62, here are the 2 auctions that I was talking about. You should be able to spot the error in these two coins. It is kind of hard to see in this Utah quarter. http://www.ebay.com/itm/400256222803 http://www.ebay.com/itm/400254098162 Oh, and I found another Utah dropped letter. It really didn't receive as much bidding as the other two. http://www.ebay.com/itm/400250407691 Edited by ErrorCoins222 12/25/2011 1:16 pm Report this Post to the Staff
hogskins2win Valued Member United States 99 Posts	Posted 12/26/2011 12:53 am Thank you, I truly value all your knowledgeable inputs. This web site is a blessing to the novice collectors. I know 10k is way off, but hey a fellow can dream. I dream of paying off my Christmas bills.... ugh! It's still a nice coin that's never been in circulation. I'm not a real big variety collector but its beauty beckons me to slab it! It will take a rather large bid to convince me not to keep this baby. Report this Post to the Staff
