I don't really follow how this happens but man that's a cool coin.
I have a few also That I don't know where I've put them.
Cheers, Bill
Edited for question
May be a dumb question but how do you tell it's from July?

The two marks to the left of first C of Canada. See the two round partial design. Matches July.

Beautiful. I love the details of the crown preserved in the mirror brockage.

Nice Mikey! Did you happen to "misplace" it behind the sheetrock in the laundry room? (private joke).

nickelsguy or SPP, could you explain how this one came to be as one would expect a full brockage to cover the whole surface of the coin but this one appears almost to be the size of a nickel or penny
BTW Great Brockage

Darryl that is a good question. In my error travels I have only seen one other 1999 mirror. A Dec coin if I remember correctly. It shows the same traits. My opinion will be shared once I part with the coin. Which will be soon.

I believe I have seen the same coin.
I look forward to hearing from you.

What the heck Darryl. My research and testing shows that the brockage strike die was not a 25 cent planchet but a 10 cent planchet struck which then stuck to the hammer die........this is only supposition but it is the best I can come up with........I placed a 25 cent struck on 10 cent planchet on my coin......so close to fitting it is unreal.....I may try to get pics. If anyone knows of a 1999 July 25 cents struck on a 10 cent planchet I would love to see it.

Very Interesting ! I never gave much thought to the scenario above however it is plausible.
Almost looks like something Zonad owns.
There does seem to be expansion of the designs/devices in the original picture of the Brockage strike. Do you think that the "Quarter on a dime planchet" whacked a few other 1999 July quarters as well?
