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.
Major mint errors on U.S. gold coins are very rare. This is only one of two major mint errors on a gold coin from the U.S. Branch Mint in Carson City, Nevada that I am aware of. A slightly double struck Carson City Morgan Dollar recently sold for approximately $30,000. There are many serious collectors who place special importance on mint errors from the Carson City Mint due to its history.
This Carson City $20 Liberty has a full partial collar which is easily seen in the new NGC holder which displays the edge. This date is also rare and in this condition is a five figure coin, even without the partial collar. This Carson City $20 Liberty is a recent discovery and is very exciting since it combines the rarity of a major mint error on a gold coin with the popularity and history of the U.S. Branch Mint in Carson City.
