"200" dated dime error found in circulation I got this dime in my change over the weekend, and it has a very weak strike on the outer portion of the coin, so the last number in the date was never properly struck. The date looks like "200" instead of either a "2002" or "2007", but I can't tell what. No photoshopping at all on this picture! http://img152.imageshack.us/img152/5821/cions001wm9.jpg

Re: "200" dated dime error found in circulation I guess I'd better start checking my dimes before I spend them.

Re: "200" dated dime error found in circulation Wow......... I honestly think you have something there...... You should contact NGC or somebody like that and discuss it. T

Re: "200" dated dime error found in circulation wow, I'm going to be looking through my Yank change now. That could be worth big dollars I'd go to http://www.pcgs.com/ to get it checked out....

Re: "200" dated dime error found in circulation How about an old BU British gold Sovereign that shows both obverse and reverse die strikings on the obverse, and both obverse and reverse die strikings on the reverse?

Re: "200" dated dime error found in circulation What a fun find! I don't know how much this might eventually be worth, but you should slap it into a coin protector (or "flip") right away and avoid handling it directly. I personally would take it in to show my coin guy, but I'd be inclined to keep it until mintage/rarity figures are known. Worth way more than a dime, for sure. Probably even more than a real (silver) dime.

I don`t know... I`ve seen similar errors on modern coins and I don`t think they are worth more than a couple FRN. Maybe I`ll put it on ebay just to see.

Re: "200" dated dime error found in circulation Some grease might have gotten in the die before the strike. It might be something, but it's probably nothing.

Re: "200" dated dime error found in circulation If you stamp an Obama "O" where the last digit goes, you can sell if for $10,000.

Re: "200" dated dime error found in circulation Speaking of errors, I have two perfect 2006 South Dakota gold quarters. I believe the planchets were not properly plated before they were put in the dies. Worth anything as an error?

Are they actually made of gold, or just gold plated? If the coins are really made of gold, were they struck on a 1/4 oz or 1/2 oz planchets? I don't think the mint makes a gold coin the size of a quarter (roughly 3/16 oz).

Re: "200" dated dime error found in circulation Don't get too excited....... the 200 dime is a fairly common error referred to as a "filled die", where grease or other foreign material fills part of the design on the coining die and causes the letter, number, or other portion of the design to appear as if it didn't exist on the original die. Not alot of value, but interesting nonetheless.

Re: "200" dated dime error found in circulation Here are some other filled dies on ebay http://shop.ebay.com/items/?_nkw=fil...dime&_osacat=0

If someone were to really have a quarter dollar stamped on a gold planchet, I think the value would be priceless! What I have are two new quarters that are missing about 50% of the zink/nickel plating, giving them a yellow gold color, like a new one dollar coin. I'll put them in a holder until I know if they are worth a couple bucks later.

Re: "200" dated dime error found in circulation Probably not worth a lot, I did find a completely blank half-dollar planchet in a roll of halves,(To bad it wasn't silver, it was clad) did some research, maybe worth $2 ...LOL BUT, if it'd had a reeded edge, then maybe $50

Re: "200" dated dime error found in circulation I have a similar coin, a 1964 kennedy half dollar, the face is perfect and the back of the coin looks like it was caught under a revolving door and was ground flat.:coolbeer: Quote:

He's probably right but his attitude sucked. For your dime, you might try asking here http://www.cointalk.org/index.php because there is a forum just for errors and these folks are in tune with market values. Good luck and I hope it's a real and very valuable error dime :biggrin: *~*Joey*~* Lousy scans attached

EE, modern clad quarters are not plated. They consist of an inner core of pure copper. Bonded to either side of the inner core are sheets of cupro-nickel alloy. I'm not sure what you have, but maybe someone did some gold plating of some common quarters just for grins? I think I've seen gold plated quarters on Home Shopping Network or the like. Maybe someone actually bought some of those and then their kids broke them out and spent them!

Thanks for the info, but I don't believe these were plated with gold. They are very close to a washington dollar color. If you put them side by side with a new dollar coin, they looks very similar, except for the dollar being more shiny. One side of the edge looks like pure copper and part is nickel color. Both reverse and obverse are the gold color. I don't think they are worth much, they are just unusual. My guess is the sheet of metal they were stamped from was defective?

Double E, what you have may be what they call a "Lamination error", '08 Redbook lists a price of $25 for a clad quarter in this condition, might want to check into it

Re: "200" dated dime error found in circulation The 200 was telling you how long America was "good as GOLD." 200 years. Now it's bankrupted. :111::111: Seriously, I saw that they called this a many numbered coins error on some of the coin sites. :thumb.aspx: Hope you check it out; send it in and get it encapulated if worth it - and sell it for many times your investment. :565::565: HS

Re: "200" dated dime error found in circulation BI, This is weird, I was going through about 15 yrs worth of silver pocket change last week looking for 90%er's before I turned it in at my bank. And too my surprise found the same dime with 200 date. Let me know if it worth anything! Evidently they must have minted a quantity of them. I through mine in a zip lock and tossed it in my SD Box. Now I've got to go see if it's a Denver mint.
