TCNC auctioned one at RCNA Winnipeg a ms 63 or 64 a beautiful coin in hand for over 10000.00 plus juice and a year latter either TCNC or some other auction a similar coin for about the same price. According to Marc there are 7 to 9 pieces. |

I thought they all came from PL sets... Cool.
I wouldn't have a clue as to the value, but if I seen it, I would be willing to spend $1500 or so on it.

I wouldn't take TCNC's word on anything from their auctions. Get an opinion from someone who was actually at the auctions and saw it, or better yet, the coin's history

Was at the WINNIPEG RCNA auction saw this coin in hand, it was a beauty, thought it was worth 3 to 4 thousand, couldn't get a bid in it was over 5000 and on it's way to over 10,000, never asked about the history but like all the 67 dollars probably custom made but a cool looking upside down goose. If you have access to one for under 5 grand you won't lose on this variety unless it's in terrible condition. |

5Gs wow. That's intense. I guess it depends how badly you want one.
Realistically they are all overpriced. I do love rotated die errors, but its a well known fact that there is a lot of die rotations in 67... It's just like the 92 NB quarter... But You can get those for $150 each.
Upset dies on most coins will almost always bring a hefty premium but it seems ridiculous to pay that much for it.
If I chose to spend $5000 on a single coin, I'd much rather have a 21 nickel.
That's my 2 cents

There are rolls and rolls of the upset die NB 25 cent, and quite a few diving goose but very few upset die dollars and the constitution dollars, the market place always speak. At the first Legacy sale a 67 penny upset die went for an insane amount, can't remember the amount though.

Im Not really trying to compare the 92 with the 67, I'm more so saying a die rotation is a die rotation, any coin can be rotated to any degree if the die was loose. I have a 1951 penny, 167° rotated in F15 (ICCS) my best offer on it was $60! I also have a 1963 penny with that same rotation in MS63 and I am offered 200...
I personally don't think any rotated die coin should ever be worth $5000+
The fact that it's a 67 gives it a cool factor. Especially if your building a type set with every known rotation and double strike variation so there has to be a premium there... Not that much tho!

Just another note about that legacy sale with the 67 penny... I was at the auction... I don't recall seeing an upset die, but there was another one...
It was ( as they said) 70-80° rotation. I bought it for $220 I believe. It came in at 67° when I measured it.

My memory is not as good as it once was but there was a 67 penny upset die sold at one of the auctions last year for a wicked price, but like I said hard to argue with market place.

thedollarman I have started to do a study on the 1968 and 1969 nickel dollars. some members have give a lot of there sets to check for them. can you tell me was there ever a 1967 wild goose ever struck on a different metal. I can not find any thing. a very much older gentle man has a 1967 wild goose that is pure black. it just don't look right. any thoughts. I told him he needs to get it weighted.

Almost a lot of things were custom made with the 67 dollar, but never seen one on a off metal, the black is due to bad storage, you see silver dollars toned dark black in dealers show cases, every so often.

Rocky, I did some searching awhile ago when I found a 67 quarter that looked to me like it was nickel instead of silver. There were apparently test coins made in 67 in the 99% nickel for the quarter, how many, I could not find that information. if they tested the quarter, then dollars to donuts they tested the dollar as well.

john I am not saying you are wrong. see I have some of them here. 2 are toned black. this coin is different. if I did not know better. I would think this coin is platinum. the look of it the colour. he don't let it out of his sight. I agree with him. it is certainly unite. I was just wondering did they make a coin as gifts for some people or awards. I will try to convince him to let me photography it. if I get the chance you will see what I mean.

There are a few test 25 cents bobcat struck on nickel planchets, they look like a normal 25 cents, I don't believe the RCM was using platinum at the time. Depending were you are located some large bullion and coin dealers will have an XRF to xray a coin he would have the answer but my first guess is most likely, if you are in Toronto area Canadian Coin has a machine. |
