Thank you Steve. It's actually quite noticeable without magnification, but it is clearly the 5 and E that had some extra ink and the roller reprinted them across the bill. Tampa? I'm in Ft Myers.
I'm always looking at my serial numbers and spotted this repeating "E" and was curious to get a professional opinion on what it's called and if any premium comes attached. Thank you
I just received this quarter as change and immediately noticed all the missing lettering on the front and back. Would this be a grease filled die? Thought it was cool enough to share here.
Long story short, the pandemic got me interested in coin roll hunting so I finally took the chance and purchased $600 in halves (full box and loose rolls). When I got home I could tell right away these had been searched a few times over (some rolls have 2 or 3 different pen marks on the side. Also, Loomis bank rolls with coins being marked on the side.)
I can imagine people get lazy, open a roll and search and put them right back in the coin wrapper. But in this case, I guess no one bothered to actually count the coins. Multiple rolls had one or two extra coins...I ended up with 17 extras. Made $8.50...not a bad first try I guess... Just hard to believe no collector or the bank for that matter bothered to count.
