Seller with one feedback has some other error coins listed. This one has my attention, but is it worth it? How much would you throw at it, if anything?

I'm risking zero. That "error" needs to be visible on the reverse, too - at the Mint it would have been a "pinch" rather than a hit on one side.

I agree with both of you. The part that had be going a little was that the PMD looks old. Looks like that coin has been floating around like that for a long time.

Just for the grins, look at how off center the reverse is?

I never said, "Don't buy this coin."

It's strongly off-center. He is actually offering an error coin; he just doesn't know it.

Yea, I didn't see that. Something about this one has gotten under my skin. If the bidding doesn't get out of control, I might toss my hat in the ring. Will be fun to see in hand, and if I don't like it, might be an easy flip.

I work tonight, so I'll be awake at the end of the auction

Honestly, Ed, I would. Gotta look closer to see if it's off center or MAD, but both faces are off. I'd throw money to find out.
