The error coin of the VNA coin convention Struck dime, struck by Lincoln cent dies !
Mike and Lee Anne stopped by the CONECA table and were kind enough to share a coin they had. Back is the early 1980's Lee Anne was a cashier and she cracked open a new roll of dimes. As she poured the dimes into the register, she noticed that was sort of odd. So she replaced this dime with another and thought she would ask her husband. Lee Anne kept this dime since the early 1980's and finally decided to break it out and let us have a look at it.
When I first saw the coin, I started to chuckle. I knew what it was, and I knew it was a great find. I told them to let the ANACS rep who was right next to me, see the coin as well and I said - watch his reaction. We all had a good laugh. The eventual question of how much the coin was worth, and whom could they eventually liquidate the coin to came into the conversation. I told them what the value I thought it was worth, and it would be worthy of sending in to get certified. I told them once the coin is certified genuine, it is easier to liquidate via a large error dealer or other means, such as an auction house.
They were very happy once they realized what they had, and I hope they get what they are asking for the coin.
Without further delay, here are the photos of the coin !
