So I work at a convenient store and have recently come across alot of expensive coins including a 1934 10 dollar gold coin. I sold it to a local pawn shop for 500 and only paid 10 to get it out of the register bc someone used it for gas. After that I've been searching for anything valuable about the coins people hand to me. So far I have over 500 coins and am curious about error coins bc they are the hardest to tell. I have a ton of coins like this and am wondering if they are a double die and what it means if the rim is longer like in these pictures. ive researched a ton about this subject and still need further advising.

i read that the rim being fat like these are broadstrikes? is that correct?

The U.S. Mint did not make any $10 Gold coins in 1934

I was hoping you weren't going to say 1933 on the gold eagle lol-anyway that's an incredible story congrats! Great silver quarter find and the nickel is not scratched and looks pretty awesome if you can get closer pics that would help

Wait someone caim in with that $10 eagle?!?! and spent it for 10 dollars. How dumb does someone have to be to spend that? I used to work as a chasier and the best I ever got was silver dimes (roseys), wheats, and silver certificates. My store currently gives out halves in change and I've probably gotten about 20 silver ones, including some franklins and a walker. Also gotten a few silver War Nickels

But really how dumb do you have to be to get a coin that's not even similar to any currently circulating coin in terms of denomination (10 dollars) and the devices on the coin. The person had no intellect to think it's worht more than 10 dollars, I mean all they had to do was just look at the date to see how old the coin was if they knew nothing else.

Did the person look really illeducated? Like seriously how dumb do you have to be?!?!

Did you think about holding onto it?

I enjoyed working as a cashier because I got to get lots of nice coins for face, but the closed to minimum wage I dont' think it was really worth it but still amazing to get all of the good stuff I got.

Better yet did you have any idea what it was yourself? Did you have to ask someone what it was? (Ive no idea your level of expertise is why I ask)

Yeah I mean like I get it especially with silver roseys and washingtons how people who have knowledge of coins would spend them for face. But generally speaking I think most people who see coins with different devices on them than the majority of circulation coins have some sort of though going off in their head that this is normally not found in circulation and perhaps worth more than face. I mean to have no sort of though like that going off in the persons head who spent this, especially since it's an old coin, not circulated, the denomination is completely different than modern day change, completely different design from circulating change...

I just don't understand how dumb you'd have to be to have no sort of thought process to think it would be a good idea to spend it for 10 dollars. I mean really how dumb does someone have to be!

It's fine if people have no idea what it is. But I think the fact that they have no idea what it is should set of some thought processes that's rare to find in circulation and that they shouldn't spend it!

I'm just amazed at how dumb someone would have to have been to spend it at face.

he had no idea he said he had 10 more at home. This was before I knew the value and I sold it to a pawn shop. This is also how I started collecting.

A broad struke dime will not have the reeds on the edge of the coin. If there are reeds on the coin in question, it is probably not a broad struck dime.

These are struck without the collar in place making them enlarged compared with another coin.
