That's an interesting piece. I'm a little confused about the edge. It has the edge of a 25 cent piece on the bottom, if it was struck on a 1 cent piece wouldn't it have a smooth edge? It also looks like it has be cut after the fact. Don't quote me on any of this I'm no expert just sharing what I think.

Nice! I would say $250 to $450 depending on how many bidders show up at an auction. You need 50 posts to sell here but there are many--myself included--that would be interested.

@Solidifer: No, because it was struck with the 25 cents dies, which includes the third part of the dies, ie. the collar which absorbs the pressure of the metal sideways.
How does one know automatically if an error was done on purpose by an employee? It seems it would be easy to catch a small brown planchet when you're pumping out nickel grey all day long. Don't they sort the planchets beforehand and how would they intermingle?

Interesting! Looks quiet valuable to me. At lease in the hundreds. Who knows what the right person will pay.

I would like to see pictures of the edge and accurate thickness measurements. It looks kind of odd to me and I don't understand how this could leave the mint, especially in 2000.

The colour concerns me as dose the rim. A 25 cent piece heated by grinding would discolour similar to pic.

^^^ Agreed ^^^ Although I didn't know the part about grinding causing discolouration. I thought it may have been painted.

Hadn't really focused on the potential for it being a forgery...shame on me! It does look odd...but does the cupping at the bottom...kind of like a normal off-centre...suggest it may be real? Jamie 212, the lighting of the picture is a little hard to interpret...is the coin cupped with the obverse sticking out? Can we see the edge?

I will try to post up more pictures I did bring it in to more then one coin shop to see what they think, I was told that there is no doubt that it is a 25 cent die and that in those years the mint were making a lot of coins which makes it a little harder to narrow down the right planchet. but as for the planchet it seems to have a 25 cent edge on one side and it is copper.
I was told a couple things could have happened such as it being to small when it was struck so possibly squeezing the rest of the edge and the other thing I was told is it may have been to big and when forced down cut part of the rim off. I was also told usually that would jam the machine and coins like that do not generally leave the mint it is to big to fit in a 1 cent roll and smaller than a 25 cent.

I have a 2000 pride 25 cents struck on a copper planchet in a ANACS slab, this coin has the 25 cent coin ridge and looks like the size of a penny. Your coin is cool, look into Mr. Glassfords error website and try to match up the foreign planchet , you also need a xrf to find the composition of this coin

My guess is its real although odd. The dark brown coloring on both sides are in line with each other, where the most pressure was on both sides.  Quote:
and it is copper. No copper pennies in 2000 if its copper wouldn't it have to be wrong planchet or a four year old penny? Did you weigh it? |
