jgettings00 Valued Member United States 149 Posts	Posted 06/18/2013 12:39 pm Looks like you could get one in that condition for about $30 on ebay Report this Post to the Staff
Gyrene7483 Pillar of the Community United States 1704 Posts	Posted 06/18/2013 1:07 pm Clean it up real good and you could get more. Just kidding! Interesting error and probably one that can be found in junk coin boxes. Ed ANA LM-3175 Report this Post to the Staff
1916 D Merc Valued Member United States 459 Posts	Posted 06/18/2013 1:42 pm After learning of this error last night, I went on a prowl through the bay listings. I found this "gem" for only $5 including shipping. I think it's a pretty cool error, I kept wondering how did a 1 get near the neck of the Indian, the world may never know.

vermontensium Moderator United States 16677 Posts	Posted 06/18/2013 8:44 pm I'd say about $15-20. You have a corroded/damaged coin. swcoin.ecrater.com Report this Post to the Staff
mackwork Pillar of the Community United States 652 Posts	Posted 06/18/2013 10:00 pm Nice cherrypickin! I've also cherrypicked one off of ebay too - mine has similar wear, but no corrosion or verdigris. The 1897 S-1 (Snow1 - 1 in neck attribution) is a Rarity 5 - a top variety with a premium of 10X. I'd guess $10-15 in that condition. Report this Post to the Staff
DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 06/19/2013 10:40 pm I've found one on ebay and several in bargain bins at shows--they're still out there. Nice find for $5. Regarding the reason for the MPD, it's thought digits were punched in denticles and other places to test die hardness. Report this Post to the Staff
1916 D Merc Valued Member United States 459 Posts	Posted 06/19/2013 11:08 pm Hmm.. That makes sense. A lot more sense than other ideas... Report this Post to the Staff
