With that great big groove from being chiselled out of the press it drops half its value, likely makes it unslabable. Even if it had no chisel mark the seller is dreaming and needs to drop at least the last nought. He has been trying to sell it for a while and no takers.
I know it is rare but are double strikes that rare? Anyone else got a decimal double strike?
I had a feeling this coin was for sale at much less on eBay by someone else. Maybe I was dreaming.
Lots of major errors have gouges as they get stuck in the presses and need help getting out.
Here's a RAM one I haven't seen in a while. Not sure if it's still in their error display.

Here's both sides, it's a die cap.

You are not dreaming, it was being sold by another seller for quite a while for around $2k.
