I happened across a $1 coin last week that exhibited these exact same holes in the coin, they were all uniform in shape and size and depth, so exact in nature that I thought they were man made holes, I kept the coin for a few days, and after looking at it again I decided not to keep it??

Are these holes a genuine error in the coin??

The seller of this coin wanted 20K for it, he is tripping if you ask me, but it begs the question what is it worth???

ok
so if it's not a doctored $1 - cause they weren't made then
is it a doctored 20c ?

If you're going to play that game, at least make the price ludicrous to make it obvious... like a million dollars. Then nobody is going to think you're actually trying to sell it.

There's no way that this is mint error AJ,seriously mate ,what has big wide bar type things like that,definitely no coins that i'm aware of,my bet is they get stuck in some sort of vending machine or similar.

Robster · August 30, 2013, 04:16:34 PM

:agreed:

Fulvio · August 30, 2013, 04:22:21 PM
