Proxibid - I have tons of things on my watch list. I am rarely available to bid at the auctions...which is probably a good thing.

How high did it end up going for? I've seen quite a few of these, I'd love a Two Cent Piece about like this - but I could never afford that today! One of my dealer/friends Frank has 3 really nice Mercury dimes for sale, they too are pretty expensive, yet still on the affordable side of life. See the second page of listings for 4 or 5 neat Mercs off center. Heck if you buy one tell him I sent you, maybe he will cut me a deal on my next 2¢ piece I buy from him - Frank wrote two great books on 2¢'ers.

The hammer price was $800 plus 15% buyer's fee. I had put in a pre-bid at $60  |

Update: this coin was just re-listed on Proxibid and sold for $1000. Still out of my price range but fun to watch at auction.

$700-1000 seems reasonalbe of a classic type coin major error like this the trouble with finding a ¢2 piece off center is the price usually goes into the $5K+ range.

Normally I do not bump threads like this but - she's baaaaack! Up on Proxibid again but this time the listing states: Quote:
WAY OFF CENTER THE FIRST WE HAVE HAD LIKE THIS. ESTIMATE $1500 - $1650.  The same auction company sold it for $800 and again for $1000. "First we have had like this", Really?  Oh well, I'll have fun watching the third time this baby is sold. |

There should be some form of discount...it's an incomplete coin!
It must be pretty hot too, nobody seems to want to hold on to it for too long.
