One of the Greatest Errors of U.S. Coins Known to Exist!
April 2026 - First Ever Auction Appearance - Record Price of $136,715
Hidden from the Public Eyes for Nearly 50 Years!
In 2021, The Bradford Exchange Mint acquired ownership of one of the Greatest Morgan Silver Dollar Errors known to exist. Minted in 1887 in Philadelphia, this stunning Double Struck U.S. Error coin has never been seen by anyone else for nearly 50 years!
This coin's history is simply amazing and had been locked away within the prized private collection of leading numismatic expert Fred Weinberg of Encino, CA. Fred Weinberg, who retired recently after spending his career focused on error coins, mentioned to us, "I handled almost every great error known in U.S. numismatics, and this was one I considered one of the very best - so much so that I kept it in my personal collection for almost 50 years. The dramatic double strike is simply stunning."
Featured in the Whitman Publishing book entitled, The 100 Greatest U.S. Error Coins, the coin was ranked as sixth overall and the #1 Morgan Silver Dollar Error. This eye-catching coin’s status is not surprising, given that it showcases incredibly rare, doubled striking on both sides, with the design offset by 25%!
Errors of this magnitude are extraordinarily rare, and sought-after by collectors. Plus, U.S. error coins are a popular segment of numismatics, and many enthusiasts are fascinated by the unusual appearance of these unique, one-of-a-kind coins.
This coin was recently consigned for auction to Great Collections of Irvine, CA. Ending on April 19, the start of the 2026 National Coin Collector Week, it set an all-time record price for any Morgan Error of $136,715.
The Bradford Exchange has also made available a privately struck 1-ounce Silver tribute to this extraordinary error coin with a hand-signed Certificate of Authenticity by the original owner, Fred Weinberg.
