That's a Statehood Quarter. I don't know the value, but it's at leat $10...possibly quite a bit more. |

Is it a quarter blank? or a half dollar blank?

Can you post some different pics of the struck area on both sides? Is the one pic showing the ATE on the edge of the coin? I'm having trouble picturing exactly what you have here. I can see it is a blank but the struck area confuses me. It looks like a partial brockage that was then pushed up so you can see the ATE on the edge. More pics would help me on this one.

That's better. I think this is a dime struck very far off center on the reverse with a brockage just as far off center on the obverse. The struck tab was pushed up at an angle. It also appears to be a dime blank and not a planchet. Very interesting error. Let's see what others say.

Nice to see the coin in comparison to something known. Just shows how looks can be very deceiving when no point of reference is made.
It's definitely a dime.

I'm still confused about the side that has the reeding lines on the edge of the strike. That's what makes me think another coin was involved with this side and not a die. It just doesn't look right to me to just be a typical OC.

A dime , struck about 98% off-center. It was a single strike. No other coin was involved.
The planchet was way out of the collar but the collar was engaged when this coin was struck. When the hammer die struck the coin, the force of the strike pushed the planchet downward and slightly into the coining chamber causing some of the collar to come in contact with that tiny section. That is what added the reeding. Notice that there is no reeding on the other side.
Have Fun,
Bill
