I remember hearing of a story of a US coin being graded and signed by the artist because it contained an error. The artist was given a large number of them and it turned out the ones the artist received were rare because it had some sort of peculiar error..
Does anyone know what coin I am referring to? Its driving me nuts.
Are you talking about the Goodacre Sacagawea dollars? She was paid $5000 in Sacagawea dollars that had a special finish. But the error coins were the cheerio Sacagawea with detailed tail feathers. The Goodacre coins just had a special finish, they weren't errors. I believe the majority of the Goodacre coins were graded and identified as a special finish.
Can't be the Goodacre or Cheerio dollars, neither were error coins. Glenna Goodacre and Philp Diehl signed some of the Goodacre dollars, I'm not aware of any of the Cheerio coins being signed.
