GrapeCollects Pillar of the Community United States 8938 Posts	Posted 09/26/2018 6:43 pm I made a thread earlier detailing the fact I purchased these for $1 each and got 3 for $3. The other two not pictured are from the same die pair and I wanted to know the value on them. Thanks in advance! GC Report this Post to the Staff

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 09/26/2018 6:58 pm That sounds about right. These are incredibly common for this year. Report this Post to the Staff
Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 09/26/2018 8:03 pm Get it now, before the gullible ones actually find out the truth! These ain't no big deal! Sorry if I'm not overly enthusiastic about extremely common overused machinery breakdowns. Die chips, small cracks, all just part of making metal objects, coins included. You ever wonder why the "perfect" coin is worth so much? They don't happen as often, more a rarity. How about full Cuds, when dies fall apart drastically they get replaced quickly, it can be more costly if let Ty in use. A small BIE, gets larger... Why? Because they continued production through thousands, even ten's of thousands of coins. Are these rare then? Course not! So why should a high value be applied to a very high population "error"(of which I have a hard time assessing as such). Report this Post to the Staff

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74189 Posts	Posted 09/26/2018 9:05 pm Crazyb0, we can collect anything we want. It's our collection, not yours. Just because you don't personally like them, doesn't mean we can't collect them or like them. This hobby isn't all about finding all of the rare and valuable things. It's about having fun and collecting whatever you like that thrills you. That's my point. Errers and Varietys. Edited by Errers and Varietys 09/26/2018 9:17 pm Report this Post to the Staff
