There was a lot of this during the 1930s and 40s. Often it was much more extensive than on this coin.

Good luck with your auction, but I must say I would be shocked if you got your starting price.

 

I am one of the many people who I suspect have spent over 50 hours looking for this variety over the past 5 years...

Thanks, I must say I'm shocked that you'd be shocked...

 

actually I don't know you so I really wouldn't.

 

Shocked is the client getting 2 million dollars when the insurance company initially offered 10K.

 

These levels are sold all the time, maybe just not on Ebay.

 

For condition rarity most like to see in hand and I can't have people over during the week...but for this coin there's so far only one "legitimate" example.

another is the one pictured in the CPG

Good catch, it is my understanding that one was misplaced several years ago per James Wiles. Then there's the misattributed MS64 reported as the first one graded. That coin isn't even close. Take a look and comment on that if you wish.

 

I'm sure you're aware a beat up dime just sold for almost 10K, and there's 10 or 11 of those so far and growing every month.

 

Legitimate is in reference to the PCGS POP.

I have looked at the other picture closely even before yours was made - heavy die polish with a couple of the heavier lines confused with re-engraving.

 

What issue had a beat up dime going for 10K? one of the proof No S's?
