How in the world would someone find that! I've never seen one like that.

That is called a mated pair. Very hard to find these.

I've no clue what it's worth, but the current $91 isn't as far as I'd personally reach for it.

I wonder if you could get that slabbed ?

Could that effect be reproduced with two smaller blanks and the other coin in the middle on a train track-let the train do the heavy work? I've seen some odd 'mis-prints' recently on youtube, some like a vice had been used. Is the seller trustworthy, due diligence is key-see if they have a history of these coins.

The hammer fell on $119.50. I suspect someone got a deal!

I think that mated pairs, including chain struck pairs, are generally undervalued and that's certainly apparent from this auction. Quote: I wonder if you could get that slabbed ? These are generally slabbed separately. The first coin being labeled #1/2 and the second, #2/2.

Quote: I wonder if you could get that slabbed ? I'm sure if you asked nicely and paid NGC handsomely they would make a 2 coin holder like this one for the pair.

That is beautiful. I wish I would have seen this sooner because it would have been mine.

That's why I posted the auction--hoping somebody here would get it.

I was out of town for 3 days.... :/ I hope someone from here did get it. If that gets graded in one slab I bet it goes for 10X the ebay price. I have no experience or reasoning for this "guess-timate"...its just a great set.

I was figuring about $100. Interesting.
