1976-? $1 Type Two Bicentennial Dollar--On a 10C Planchet, Uniface Reverse--MS64 PCGS. A dime planchet and an Ike dollar planchet were fed between the dies at the same time. The dollar planchet (not included) blocked the obverse die. Although struck on a dime planchet, the piece has the approximate diameter of a nickel. The centering favors the Liberty Bell, which is complete except for its handle. It would be very difficult to find another uniface Bicentennial dollar struck on a dime planchet, so opportunity knocks for the wrong planchet error specialist.

Auction 450 | Lot 1457 » Modern Commemoratives

2000-W $10 Library of Congress PR70 Deep Cameo PCGS. A cleverly designed modern commemorative issued on the eve of the new millennium, technically perfect with gleaming fields. The platinum center displays strong contrast and richly frosted devices, as does the gold outer ring, though that zone has limited space to display its cameo effect. One of only 12 pieces assigned this ultimate grade by PCGS (2/07). (PCGS# 99784)

1858 1C Small Letters Flying Eagle Cent--Flipover Double Struck, 2nd Strike 35% Off Center--VF25 PCGS. Low Leaves Reverse. The eagle's tail, AMERICA, and the right border of the wreath are visible from the first strike. The lower right wreath border from the intial strike is widely doubled, which suggests that the piece was struck twice in the dollar before its final, flipover, off center strike. This final impression is widely off center toward 8:30.

1982 1C Large Date Cent--Struck on a 1981-P Dime--MS67 NGC. Roosevelt is nearly inverted relative to Lincoln's portrait, and the flame of the torch flickers beneath the Lincoln Memorial. The cent date is bold, and the dime date and mintmark is legible except for the final digit in the date. This planchet combination is much scarcer with an undertype of a different date.

1903 10C Barber Dime--40% Brockage Obverse--AU58 PCGS. A mid-stage reverse die cap (not included) became dislodged and was off center within coining chamber when the present piece was struck. The obverse shows an incused, distorted impression of the lower reverse design between 9:30 and 1 o'clock, where the obverse die was obstructed by the off center former die cap. Rich sea-green and dove-gray toning embraces this satiny and smooth mint error.

1918-S 25C Standing Liberty Quarter--10% Off Center, Indented Reverse--MS63 PCGS. Incorrectly designated as an "Indented Obverse" by PCGS. A satiny golden-brown and lilac-gray piece that has two significant mint errors, both of which are unusual for the Standing Liberty series. The piece is struck off center toward 7:30, and has a deep banana-shaped strike-through on the lower reverse. The centering allows a rare full strike on Liberty's shield and waist.

(1964) 50C Kennedy Half--On 90% Silver 25C Planchet--MS60 NGC. 6.2 grams. The date is virtually completely off the flan, but given the 90% silver alloy of the quarter planchet, it is probably from 1964-dated dies. The centering favors Kennedy's portrait, which is intact, as is the Heraldic eagle. Lustrous and lightly toned with a few faint hairlines.

Auction 450 | Lot 992 » Silver and Related Dollars » Morgan Dollars

1878 7TF $1 Reverse of 1879 MS66 NGC. The 1878 7 tail feathers issue was struck in two major reverse variations: the first with parallel top arrow feather, and concave breast on the eagle, often referred to as the Reverse of 1878, and the second variation, referred to as the Reverse of 1879, with a slanting top arrow feather, and convex, or rounded, breast to the eagle. The latter variety is considered to be scarcer in both circulated and Mint State grades. Q. David Bowers, in The Official Red Book of Morgan Silver Dollar estimates only 50 to 100 survivors in MS65 or better, versus an estimate of 1,000 to 2,000 MS65 or better Reverse of 1878 survivors. The Reverse of 1879 example we offer here is exquisitely struck, virtually untoned and brilliant, and essentially free of any mentionable marks. This coin is sure to excite the advanced Morgan dollar collector. (PCGS# 7076)

1878 7TF $1 Reverse of 1879 MS63 Deep Mirror Prooflike PCGS. Strongly reflective with pleasing frost over the well-defined devices. Slight haze appears in the fields, and the upper obverse rim has a trace of orange toning. Bowers' Morgan dollar Guide Book estimates the mintage of the 7 Tail Feathers, Reverse of 1879 (with slanted top arrow feather and rounded eagle's breast) at less than one-fifth of the 7 Tail Feathers, Reverse of 1878 issue. He further approximates the number of MS63 DMPL survivors at only 66 certified pieces, with 29 finer, in line with the current population data. Population: 42 in 63 Deep Mirror Prooflike, 24 finer (2/07). (PCGS# 97077)
