Yes, a dual year double strike is what I was thinking, not a dual denomination. So, seriously, it would make me question the authenticity of the coin as a whole if the people who put it in the slab don't even know the basic difference in such errors. I'd be very leery of spending the kind of money that coin is worth if I didn't trust that the TPG knew exactly what they were looking at and have the knowledge to at least describe it correctly. This is a similar error to the type of stuff called "Charles Silverstone" errors which included a number of off metal counterfeits. |

@TB.... should eel send the coin back to NGC & have them relabel the slab? What would you do if this were your coin?

I would send it straight to Jon Sullivan (a CCF member) since he's literally the guy that discovered the Silverstone counterfeits. If he says it's good, it's good, and then get the thing in a PCGS slab where it belongs. But again, I haven't read the entire long thread on the coin so maybe some of this has been answered. Just the bad slab label was an immediate red flag when I saw it.

I did look up the dates for when the Silverstone coins started hitting the market, and that was from the mid-2010's, so thinking this coin may be known from before those came out, which would be a good thing.

Hello again guys!
As promised:
The 1972/64 Silver quarter is finally on its way to Heritage Auction in Dallas, Texas. From there, it will enter the "FUN" auction in Orlando, Fl. The auction will be held 14-28 January 2026.
I'm very excited, and wish the new owner much happiness and enjoyment with the coin. I would also like to thank all of you in this forum again, who helped guide me through this process!

I just read the thread (22 pgs) and this one.
This, along with Larzs' (sure it's spelled incorrectly) threads have been the most intriguing and exciting since "I've" joined the CCF.
I'm just a little confused...
It was going to ICG... I'm cool with that.
It was going to PCGS...I'm cool with that.
(Sponge Bob voiceover)
Ten years later : )~
It ended up in an NGC holder...that's where I'm confused?
Anybody able to fill in the blanks...?
I'm still going to follow this coin...it just feels like I went to the restroom during a good movie and I'm having a hard time trying to figure out what happened?
Thanks

I also read the other thread and was wondering the same thing. If it was at PCGS why did it end up in a NGC slab? Also, it was mentioned that Fred Weinberg was going to look at it. If Mr. Weinberg reviewed it what were his comments?
Just curious.
