I stopped in at my local coin shop today to pick up a coin he had set aside for me. While I was there he pulled out a baggie of cent that were all broadstrikes and off centers since he knew I was into errors. He said he already had a bag like this and he would sell me this bag for $90. He had no idea how many were in the bag but he and I both guessed at least 90 pieces. I couldn't turn that deal down and bought the bag. There are 156 cents. One is 1998, one is 1999 and the rest are 2000 & 2001. All are UNC. I think I just received an early Christmas present.

Good question, I really haven't considered yet what I am going to do with them. I will certainly keep some for my collection. ebay and here are other possible outlets. First I need to look them over closely. Maybe I'll try to do that over the holidays. |

If you put them up for sale I'm interested in a few of them.

@pyrbob - If you decide to sell some I would be interested in a few myself.

Don't forget to look for WAMs on the 1998, 1999, and 2000 cents (for those that didn't get missed) as it could make for a nice extra level of interest (and value)

When I decide to get rid of some this site will absolutely be my first choice. As far as the WAM's that was the first thing I checked for and there were none but that would have been a nice bonus. Hopefully between Christmas and New Years I will get some time to look closer at them. Thanks for all of the suggestions and comments. |

pyrbob, for the past two years, I sat at Fred Weinberg's booth looking through a bag of similar errors to buy for myself. It was really, really fun. I picked out the best of the best -- paid a lot more than you did (LOL) but whenever I pull those coins out and they still make me smile. There's no rhyme or reason for it -- they're just fun.
