Sleaklight Pillar of the Community United States 827 Posts	Posted 04/19/2007 4:14 pm hmmm, looks like it was planched on a quarter? But $200, that is teep, I guess they really want it Report this Post to the Staff
Errorcoins Member United States 703 Posts	Posted 04/19/2007 4:16 pm No, IMO, this is a Broadstruck error on a Nickel Planchet, VERY COMMON! No Way a Quarter Planchet fits into the nickel presses. errrrrrrror Report this Post to the Staff
jdheyne Pillar of the Community United States 772 Posts	Posted 04/19/2007 4:16 pm That is only a $10 error being on a quarter planchet? I do not know much about errors but I think I would buy any of those I could at $10 each. Do you have any similar? $200 is quite steep, I agree. But I would definately say it is worth more than $10. Just my input though... Jordan Report this Post to the Staff
jdheyne Pillar of the Community United States 772 Posts	Posted 04/19/2007 4:20 pm If you look at the back, it is nearly all there (not missing much of the strike) If you put a nickel up to a quarter, it looks very similar to this. It does not appear you are missing too much of the nickel to make up for all the space that was un-struck. Report this Post to the Staff
basicbob101 Pillar of the Community United States 819 Posts	Posted 04/19/2007 4:43 pm all it takes is two people to want something at auction to drive the price up...I once saw a rotted outhouse at a country antique auction go for $3000! Report this Post to the Staff
tmor Valued Member United States 159 Posts	Posted 04/19/2007 5:08 pm Errorcoins is dead on with this one. This is a broadstruck coin. What this means is that the coin was struck without a collar holding it in place. They are designed to move to help eject the coin from the dies. They can jam quite frequently, and this is the result. The coin is larger because it spreads out when there is no collar to hold it in place. Note that is is also struck slightly off center, again because of no collar. The lack of a clad planchet should have been a dead giveaway. Report this Post to the Staff
SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 04/19/2007 8:46 pm Aren't broadstrikes usually dished? Do broadstrikes come with such nice, even edges, and such clean excess fields, lacking any striations? Honestly, I'm unsure about what this one is. It'd be nice to get a micrometer on the thickness of this coin. Report this Post to the Staff
tradernick Valued Member United States 138 Posts	Posted 04/19/2007 10:43 pm NOT broadstruck, imo. This coin is 10-15% offcenter. Definately not a "wrong planchet" error. I sell these in the shop for less than $5. Poor buyer...someone should tell him. tradernick Report this Post to the Staff

halfabustisbetter Pillar of the Community United States 1984 Posts	Posted 04/20/2007 1:13 pm Unless it's counterfeit, there's really no reason to tell the buyer anything. He saw what he wanted to see and paid what he wanted to pay. Let him work out the details with the seller. I would never criticize someone for overpaying, I would only hope there are a couple around when it's time to auction my collection... It's possible that the buyer knows someone who would pay him more than he just paid. Who knows? Edited by halfabustisbetter 04/20/2007 1:15 pm Report this Post to the Staff
