Bringing the latest mint error news to the collector. Also featuring Die Trials, Patterns, Test Pieces, Numismatic Rarities, Currency Errors and Discoveries from the U.S. Mint.
Please note: the error types listed below were ebay lots that closed with a high bidder. If the reserve price was not met, or picture was not attached, then I ignored the auction. Fuzzy pictures, or questionable descriptions are not included.
An important observation about 5c “Speared Bisons” and the 25c Wisconsin extra leaf errors sold on eBay. There is little to no demand for the “Bison” errors from collectors or dealers at major conventions. The demand for these on eBay are way down in price. There were many auctions listed but failed to attract any bidders.
The Wisconsin leaf errors have dropped in price substantially. Unlike the “Speared Bisons”, there are collectors and dealers asking for these varieties at conventions. Check out the new prices realized below, then compare them to an older price guide.
Last quarter I reported that the low and high leaf were selling around the same price level. This quarter, prices have widened. Still, hundreds of these listed remain unsold.
Here are records of recent sales on eBay from July 1, 2009 to September 30, 2009.
