That is amazing! Major errors on Standing Lib quarters are almost never seen and I would expect this piece to be quite valuable. Not every error fan trusts grading services to get error attribution correct but I think this one should be authenticated. I'd spring for PCGS certification if it were my coin. Congrats on a very exotic piece!  |

Yeah, wow. I'd certainly spring for authentication on that piece.
May I ask: how did you come across it?

You should contact Mike Diamond first...
If he agrees it to be genuine, then I would submit it for 3rd Party Certification...

Super Cool, TypeCoin. Error SLQ's are so impossible. I've never found one I liked, ever. I like yours!

Should Mike Diamond give his opinion on this, I would like an explanation on why the strongest part of the reverse motto is rotated, yet the obverse side designer's initial that looks to be recessed on the coin shows no rotation...   Not saying it is PMD, just curious... |

I have serious doubts about the authenticity of this coin as well. I'll show it to Bill Fivaz on Saturday and see what he thinks of it.

Hope it's not a vise job, or two quarters on top of each other then smacked with a hammer, for that matter.

I have my suspicions. The rev appears trippled with a rotation. The obv appears to be doubled with an offset toward 3:00 not a rotation.

If genuine, then it would be an in-collar triple strike. But the watchword is "if". Some of the affected areas show the sharp, but incomplete penetration of earlier strikes through the final strike. That is consistent with a genuine triple strike, but does not prove it, as sophisticated counterfeits can duplicate the effect. Other areas show a more blended overlap, which is what one sees in a coin struck by counterfeit dies. The apparent warping of the obverse around LIBERTY is also a concern. The coin should definitely be looked at by an experienced error expert.
