P.S. I was the second to get these errors on Ebay...The first one sold for 612 bucks for ONE COIN!

Better sell them all before people find out how common they probably are.

the guy that had the first one on ebay is on this site too. i'd definetly put them on ebay, clean up on them while you can.

Look at the seller and then look at the poster of this topic

Just curious, were the other coins with mint marks "D" or "P"?

Of course the real error collectors will have to get both a "D" and a "P" version.

(just kidding).

I feel sorry for all of these idiots buying these error coins at these inflated prices. It's obvious that more and more sellers are putting them online.

Grats to those making some nice profit off of them, but gosh there are some real suckers out there... especially the ones buying the upside-down lettered edge.

I brought home a roll of 2007-P Washington dollars yesterday. All had complete edge lettering, but 14 out of 25 were upside down, that is, when you are reading the edge the liberty side is facing up.

I've also noticed that the edge is easiest to read in flourescent light. Daylight isn't as helpful.

 

[Coinkid]

These coins without the edge lettering are only being found in two cities, Jacksonville, FL, where I live, and Chicago (and probably the surrounding areas)..... I've already sold a total of 6 for $1,099 =)

 

[scotto]

I now have a total of 95 of these rare errors!

If you have already found that many, I doubt they are rare. Time will tell.

 

[Coinkid]

I believe they are rare, but they are concentrated. They're only being foud in the two cities I mentioned, and there aren't enough to go around....

 

[bazinga]

There are 40 online now. It might only be being found in certain areas, but it sure doesn't look rare at all.

 

[THEDUKE]

wow your auctions seem to be generating some real interest in these, great.

 

[6920]

It will be interesting to see if these errors are rare. If so 95 of them is unreal to find!!

 

[bazinga]

There are even more listed now.

You had better list the rest that you have and maybe save one or two.

I would list the rest of them all in one day auctions with one ending about every 30min or so. I really love the people that win one of your auctions for over $200 that could have used your buy it now on other auctions for $185, haha.

They are also being found in Tallahassee (spelling?).

 

[Coinkid]

Yeah...I thought it was great too It was awesome....when the auctions ended at like $260, the $185 ones were gone in a flash....lol

 

[ronald99]

Well i found out the upside down lettering,is not a error,The people that find coins without lettering,are very lucky,but as the ones that are talking about the upside down lettering,your out of luck.If you go to the website ABOUT.COM you can read about it.Ronald99
