Pair of Barber Dime Die Caps
Obverse and Reverse
PCGS AU 55
UNIQUE
Click below for enhanced view...
This is a unique pair of Barber Dime Die Caps. They are both from the New Orleans Mint which produced very few Mint Errors. The Barber Dime obverse cap is one of 5 known for the series. The Barber Dime reverse cap is the only known reverse cap for the series, making this the only known set.
The Barber Dime obverse cap is an extremely deep die cap and barely fits in the PCGS holder. The reverse of this cap is a distorted impression of what was the raised design of the reverse. This cap formed incuse brockages on the obverse of many Barber Dimes that were being struck.
The Barber Dime reverse cap is also extremely deep and has a brockage. The obverse of this cap shows an incuse brockage design of the reverse of a struck Barber Dime cap. The obverse of this cap created counterbrockages on the reverse of Barber Dimes that were struck. A counterbrockage is a brockage from a brockage and is a very rare Mint Error.
It is exciting to have a unique set of both Barber Dime obverse and reverse caps. In addition, they are from the New Orleans Mint and have somehow survived over a hundred years. Truly the centerpiece of a Mint Error Collection.

| Unique Mint Error Discovery
This unique mated pair of Franklin Halves, just purchased from an old-time collection, was previously unknown to the numismatic community. This exciting discovery represents the earliest known off-metal mated pair of United States coins.
The first piece of this mated pair is a 1963 Franklin Half double struck with a full indent from a cent planchet. It was double struck out of the collar and is so broadstruck it is the size of a Morgan Dollar.
The second piece is a 1963 Franklin Half struck on a cent planchet. The reverse is a first strike incuse brockage of the obverse of a Franklin Half.

August 2000
This was the most exciting ANA Convention in years. Many major mint errors consistently sold for over five figures. Three Mules sold in the $29,000 to $35,000 range (two in auction, one in a private transaction). At the Bowers and Merena Galleries Auction, hundreds of people crowded the room to bid on an unusual selection of major mint errors. With the discovery of the Mule, the publicity for the Sacagawea Dollar, the States Quarter series, and the convenience of the World Wide Web and eBay, mint errors have gone mainstream and are the hottest and strongest segment of the coin industry today. This is partly due to the fact that prices for error coins were dormant for twenty years and have only recently awakened. This trend is supported by thousands of new collectors who are purchasing modern issues and major mint errors instead of dated gold or generic gold.

Martha Washington Test Piece
Struck on Cent Size Planchet
Uniface Reverse - Token
NGC Certified
Judd Plate Coin
Pg. 323 J#A-1982-1
UNIQUE
This is a Martha Washington test piece struck in 1999/2000. The April 10, 2000 issue of Coin World featured an article about a Martha Washington trial piece. The article revealed that the "Martha Washington/Mount Vernon dies were most recently used during metallurgical die trial testing for the Sacagawea dollar."
This Martha Washington piece is a die trial experimental test strike. The Martha Washington/Mount Vernon dies were used to strike this trial piece on a 2.5 gram zinc-copper cent planchet. It was struck 10% off-center with a uniface reverse.
This die trial piece was discovered by a Brinks employee in a bag of 1999 cents. It is in gem mint state condition with red and brown toning. The obverse design of the die features a bust of Martha Washington facing right. In the right field is the inscription MARTHA WASHINGTON. Above the portrait is VIRGINIA and below the date 1759.
