2010 $1 MOR Multiple Rabbit Ears & More

[Unicorn]

Was having a sort out and came across this one.

It has a nice set of ears on #1 & #2 roos. Add to that a spit cud on #3 and two sections of splash on #2's back ...... sure makes it a multi error coin.

It will be going up, but not until one of my bestest bestest bestest customers is back from being away as they are the king of MOR's.

Geebus :blink: are they for real :scratch_one-s_head: I wonder how much they'd put on a mule or something like that.

Yes AJ, perhaps a wee (wafer thin after-dinner mint) bit unrealistic I thought.

(But no offence intended if that seller happens to be a member of the forum as you are quite entitled to ask for whatever you wish).

I know I'll probably be starting mine around $15-$20 as this is the only one of these I've seen.

[ausjack]

better get me a bucket :laugh2:

Do you really think someone living in fairyland would be a member of this forum?

Overpriced by at least a factor of ten IMO.

These things (yours included) are all basically the same error.. a die weakness that follows an arc from the top roo's neck to the third roo's back. At various stages of disintegration and on various dies, it presents rabbit ears, spew roos, lizard tongues, dribbles along the edge of the backs, and even cracks that run through multiple roos.

Sure, some cuds may be bigger than others, but when your average cud is worth maybe double face value, 250 times is somewhat extreme. "Hey bro, what are you on, and where can I get some, man?"

Yes, that may be true but I think it's the number of "escapees" that counts. For example the 1985, 2009 and 2013 rabbit ears are all very very hard to find in comparison to the other years. Even then the large set on the 2013 that Kel found was the one and only I've seen that large for 2013, even though I've found the smaller versions.

[ausjack]

Yes the 85 is the hardest for sure and still to find one but have most of the others I think.

Valid point, but it does lead me to wonder who is driving the market, and where they're going with this.

See, if the people willing to pay hundreds were actual error collectors, they would realise these things are all valuable, and that there is a progression from when the chrome starts to buckle to total die failure. As they say, you need to 'collect the set' as Nancy has so often documented. That would increase the value of ALL the cuds, cracks and flaws, just as a rising tide raises all boats.

But I suspect these buyers aren't really error collectors at all, and that they may not even understand what they're looking at. And I'm not convinced that does any of us any favours. Except, maybe, the sellers of the exceptional examples.

Its kind of like a pissing contest, just like slabs have become, where only the 'high score' wins and everything else is rubbish.

Nothing wrong with a good pissing contest Fulvio, Collectors have Always been a competitive lot

Brilliant find Uni!

I don't think I have one of these (yet), but I do have a 1985 and some "straight out of the bag" 2013
