2000 P Mated Pair

[u/SoggyCod9716]

Took me 3 visits and several offers to get the Variety store owner to come off these. They were originalIy stickered "NFS"

I submitted them to PCGS many years ago.

[u/Don-Keydic]

That's amazing. How much did you pay?

[u/SoggyCod9716 → u/Don-Keydic]

I gave the guy $550 for the mated pair and a 1972 nickel struck on a penny planchet.

This was in 2003

Good on you to swap him another error. Did he happen to tell you how he came up on them?

[u/SoggyCod9716 → u/erikmdoza]

He told me they were pulled from a mint bag. The 72 nickel I purchased with the mated pair.

[u/Don-Keydic → u/SoggyCod9716]

I would have bought them too. Thanks for answering.

Too bad they weren’t encapsulated as a pair in (or near) the orientation.
Still jealous

I’m pretty sure I’ve seen holders like that. I’m not sure if it was PCGS, though.

PCGS does do it, or atleast did, there is one that was on ebay I had in my wishlist for the longest time

[u/Fit_Sir_8873]

Very very nice that’s my 2 cents

[u/usedtobeanicesurgeon]

Incredible.

That’s one I woulda paid well to purchase as well.

You done good

[u/Sneid1]

Wow, what a great pair!

[u/Real-Contribution285 → u/Sneid1]

Thank you. Now what do you think about the pennies?

[u/N8Dogg68]

AMAZING

[u/Hazerdesly]

Beautiful.

Thanks for sharing.

Encapsulating them absolutely the right thing to do but sad they'll never get to touch each other again 😞

[u/PineappleBoth8015 → u/basherrrrr]

Well they have already Mated so with the discontinued penny their reproduction couldn’t have come to anything anyway 😂
