Based on what I see the current $33 bid is a steal.

Could use a closer photo of the coin. Appears as the better one. If your not sure what yours is, post it on ebay as a Double Die and don't say to much. Of course the really smart thing to do would be to have it graded by PCGS so you could list it on ebay as an authenticated coin. Either way, sounds like a really nice profit coming up.

You may want to reconsider selling just yet. That is a great coin to start an error coin collection. With that kind of luck and a little knowledge of what is possible out there, you might end up with a fortune in error coins.
At one coin show I go to there is a couple that sells nothing but error coins. I asked how and why so many error coins. They said a long time ago they just started pulling the slightest errors out of change and when the amount became extensive, they realized this would be something for a coin show and have been doing it now for years. They said about 75% of all thier coins came from just looking through coins.
