I'll share this coin, which is certainly one of my best buys. Back around 1999 I put a dollar bill in a vending machine and got a bag of peanuts plus 2 quarters change. This was one of the quarters. The weight was low by about 1 gram so I was pretty sure it was a legitimate error coin with a missing obverse clad layer. NGC agreed and slabbed it at MS63. I can't explain how a 20-year-old quarter made it through a vending machine in mint state, but there it is.

Very cool error, Jaobler. I've never found anything like that. I did find a 1968 cent one time that was struck on a dime planchet. ~Jim
