Mis struck error quarter on nickel

#1 Unread post by derekc1984 »

I have had in my possession a mid strike coin quarter on nickel, however I cannot provide a date as you will see.
Weighed it first of course and took a pic of it as well. Let it be valuable hahaha.
Thanks danial for your YouTube channel it has been helpful.

Looks like a Nickel with the impression of a quarter squeezed on top ( Vise job ) and damage to the reverse as well.

Please note how the extra wording is backwards. This means a quarter was "pressed" onto the nickel.

Please note the flattened REV side.

This indicates either the quarter was on top of the nickel and it was hit with something heavy...flattening the REV of the nickel (and most likely the quarter's REV as well). Or the two were in a vice which also flattened their REV sides.

It looks like a vice job to me also. What makes me say that is this was really a dual denomination coin, you would not be able to the hair of George though Monticello. Which ever was the second die to strike this coin would be the dominate features. If you also look at where it says Liberty backwards, and does match up with the true liberty locations.

I also meant to mention George is facing the wrong direction - he is backwards also. Again, showing an impression made onto the surface of the nickel by a quarter and not the coin's metal being forced up and into a die's recesses at the mint.

You're giving them false hope on a post mint damaged coin.

Nope
We're experienced and we look at this the same, new people being quarried about their coins makes them think there's still a chance based on new information.

Daniel,
I would like to give the poster an in-depth assessment of what they actually have.
I only need the "Diameter" of the coin, to explain a certain diagnostic.
Obviously, it is NOT a mint error.

2 Days of posting on the same damaged coin seems a bit much. I can give an in depth without all this back and it's not good use of time IMO and PMs would be more appropriate if this is so necessary.

Daniel that thought may be right for some. I guess, that because I have been here longer I now fully understand what Paul is doing. When Paul started asking me question like he doing here, I end up doing research to find out what he was asking and why. Just like the question he posted on a coin I posted about the alignment (did not know the exact term I used) of how the Obverse and Reverse alignment was. The terms he had ask me to look up, were a little off as he used the terms Currency Alignment and Medal (yes he use Medal not metal) Alignment. I had to do some research to figure out what he was actually teaching me about Coin and Metal alignment. Yes when he first started doing this I did think maybe I actually had something, when I started looking up what he asked, I found out that this is not what I thought I had. Yes, it was very hard pill to swallow at first.
