Have no idea, but it looks like it's struck through a Christmas stocking.

Mark,

Glad you give a hoot. It is shaped like a stocking, sort of. Good eye. What do you think it would grade. A MS coin or a Bu coin?

Definitely MS - Mint Stocking 67, I'd say.

Errorist,

 

It certainly looks like a plastic strike-thru to me. It seems that the price was right. I've seen similar coins on the Coin Vault certified by NGC in the $200 price range. Assuming that they double the prices of everything, then it is probably a $100 error if slabbed.

 

Just a general observation: After watching the Coin Vault regularly for entertainment, I conclude that most coins are priced c. 33% over retail. Occasionally, a coin may sell for market value. Some are ridiculously overpriced by multiples of two and three. I recently saw a 1995 doubled die Lincoln cent certified ms 67 by NGC selling for $100. Anyone know the market rate for this one? The price sounds fair on this one. It sold out on the show in no time.

 

p.s. Your moniker is typo'd. ... KINGKOIN KING OF KOIND

If it is then why does it happen? Could they wrap the dies in plastic to store away for a short time, and then forget to take it all off before using it?

Sounds plausible to me.

I paid $35 for my NGC 66... a 67 I think goes around $60

Nope. You're all wrong.

 

Look at the shape of the missing piece.

 

This was a crude early attempt at a New York State Half Dollar.

 

It was not adopted until 1999 when inflation forced it to be used on a quarter.

They do use a plastic cap to store the dies and it looks like this:

 

 

I don't think that it was that but certainly does resemble a piece of plastic. Maybe a flaked off lamination peel from another coin.... neat error none the less.

 

 

[errorist]

My assumption could be correct then. It is neat coming here to the forums, and learn about coins of all types. Sure can't learn this in school.

Thanks for the info, Jeremy.
