DID YOU SEE THIS
Tom sent out this notice to all Lansing Coin Club members
Good news! First, we will be returning to Hannah Center starting with our Sept. 8 meeting – further details to follow!
Second, we are once again able to have our Fall Club Coin Show, this year on Sunday, October 24 at MSU’s Kellogg Center as in prior years, with covered parking and the elegant State Room dining just down the hall. As with prior Shows, all members will receive a clutch of Draw Prize tickets in the hope that you’ll purchase them; and remember, you get a free ticket just for showing up!
If you’re particularly ambitious, of course, the ANA Convention will be in Rosemont, Illinois (right next to O’Hare Airport) August 10-14, and the big Polish-American Club Show will occur in Troy on August 29. In any case, we hope to see you in September!

SOME FASCINATING ERRORS
A SMASHED NICKEL
1999P Jefferson Nickel
This is a bonded die cap formed when one planchet was crushed on top of another.
Heritage says it has "Bright silver-gray luster (and) is satiny,"
Also, it has, "... slight reflectivity in the fields ..."
It was graded MS-64.
It just sold for $3,840

1942 Dime
Major Struck Thru Obverse
Graded MS-63
Sold for $504
A struck through coin is a coin that was struck with something in the way,
like a paper clip or a small piece of cloth, or some substance that isn't supposed to be there.
Hard to tell what was in the way of this strike.
A "struck through" only affects one surface.

COIN #1
1964 Jefferson Nickel -- Mated Pair Coin #1, Double Struck Onto Coin #2
MS65
and 1964 Jefferson Nickel -- Mated Pair Coin #2, Double Struck, Brockaged by Coin #1
MS65
The planchet for Coin #1 appears to have been a punch strip scrap rather than an intended planchet.
On coin #2, the reverse planchet is cracked at 12 and 4 o'clock due to metal expansion out of the collar.
The date is off the flan of the obverse piece but is struck into the backside of the reverse planchet.

GOLD AND SILVER
______________________________________
AS OF SUNDAY
JULY 25, 2021
GOLD AU: $1802.20 One week ago it was: $1818.20 Change: -0.9%
SILVER AG: $25.17 One week ago it was: $25.64 Change: -1.8%
Gold retreated this past week, but that is nothing new. It hasn't been a beacon of light for some time for investors. Up, down and all around the 1800 mark. Where will it go this week? And what about silver? It has been slipping for several weeks, like it's on a glacier.
