Rare ICG Error Oregon State Quarter Mismarked as a California

OMG, a 2nd tier TPG made a mechanical error. Quick break out the checkbook... that's right, it can be yours for just $700 OBO. Plus 2.67 shipping.

He does admit, "Not sure of the value so I am going to let the ebay world decide it's true worth.
I do have a modest reserve"

The ICG error quarter seems like a real bargain compared to some things on ebay - you still find people trying to sell their British pocket change for four-figure sums!

Here's a case where having stock photos is probably a good thing - IF it means I don't get the one with the thumbprint on the panda's face...

I saw a raw 1944 "steel cent on ebay a while ago. You could see through the paint and there was none around the letters.
