jom Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 This one is really nice for a 63. Plus, believe it or not, the date is a bit better too. 10-D are more common for example. I used to say if some of the Philly dates (10P, 14P come to mind) "had mintmarks" with the same rarity they'd be a whole lot more expensive. (does this make any sense? ) Nice one. jom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BROADSTRUCK Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 What metal is that? I feel it's on a Canadian $2 Toonie pure nickel outer ring planchet that wasn't punched for a center aluminum bronze insert. It's too heavy to be a $1 Loonie or struck on a Barbados $1. This example was once described as being struck on an Iceland commemorative planchet, but I haven't investigated this opinion yet as the diameter is considerably greater. My main reason for purchase is that I've always wanted a transitional Sac struck on a SBA planchet... Yet I snoozed and these have doubled in price over the years and now fetch about $16K.

In order to be a legitimate error, it would have to be on something that could actually be mixed up. Canadian Toonies are struck at Canadian mints - the only way one of those planchets would get there would be someone actually putting it there - and thus wouldn't be an error as much as an intentional misstrike.

The Royal Canadian Mint in 1999 and 2000 supplied planchets for 5c pieces and Sacagawea Dollars to the U.S. Mint and to assist and alleviate the production constraints caused by the introduction of the new Sacagawea Dollar in 2000.

physics-fan3.14 Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 Huh, I didn't know that. Your theory still seems like a stretch, but I guess its more possible than I previously thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BROADSTRUCK Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 Huh, I didn't know that. Your theory still seems like a stretch, but I guess its more possible than I previously thought. I didn't know posting a coin in the follow the lead would turn into a debate... Anyhow my coin along with the following 3 others below used to be in a NGC 4 piece multi-holder. It was part of the "Ohio Collection" of mint errors which David Lawrence acquired around 2005. This was one of the finest mint error collections assembled and which had some of the most amazing die caps known such as the MS67 IKE and MS67 split IHC. The 4 piece set of Sac errors was advertised on their site then for roughly $100K and then in 2006 spun through Heritage Platinum Night auction with a reserve of $70K which was not meet. Later encapsulated in separate NGC holders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunny Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 (edited) How did we go from an 1883 Liberty Nickel to a 2000 Sacagawea? This is supposed to be a "Follow The Lead Thread Picture Post" thread. I'm confused. Edited May 13, 2012 by Gunny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
