Apparently a bank teller in 1992 culled them, retired to Portugal, sold them a coin dealer there sent them to NGC and I made an offer on ebay, taking a long way home. |

I believe those are coming from Portugal.
Well done john100! I had my eyes on those coins but didn't pull the trigger.

I cant get into error coins like this, to me these just look like damaged coins lol, but looking at the price tag I guess there is a market for them. Anything that can increase a coins value , damaged or outer wise I am in.  |

Errors are all in a way damaged coins, but there are only a few double struck Canadian coins, this clearly is one of the better examples, also the whole coin market is in such a buyer's market, or else his asking price would have been a bargain.

Picked up coins last night from postal outlet, looks a little better in hand there's no colour reflections on the first NGC pics, shipping only 5 business days from Portugal.

These are all really nice double strikes, especially the ones about 50% off center.

Really nice and a good story to go along with them, buying them from a Portugal seller! 5 days? Oh my, it often takes a week or longer to go from one province to the next. Totally OT but I think CP really needs to forget home delivery and focus on moving mail efficiently and cost effectively across this country. Their abhorrently slow postal service is like an elephant in the corner of the room.

wow... I had rolls of all the 1992 quarters, the only variation I found in all my rolls was a light clipping off of one - it was clearly discernable while still in the plastic rolls - but in my 2x2 holder, it's almost invisible...
How cool would it have been to find those!!
