CCFPress Press Manager United States 1420 Posts	Posted Yesterday 2:25 pm PCGS - Ever seen a 26-cent coin? This double-denomination error likely occurred when a struck 2000 Virginia Quarter was accidentally fed into the coin press making 2000 Lincoln Cents. It last sold for $26,400.

Dearborn Moderator United States 103872 Posts	Posted Yesterday 9:16 pm the only way I 'think' that this could happen if when setting up the press they struck the quarter first (you can see the entire quarter if you loo close enough in the area where the cent was struck) Then they changed out the dies from the quarter to a cent and reset the already struck quarter in the collar and then struck the cent onto the quarter. The way I see it, if the quarter was struck then 'fell' into the feed for the Lincoln Cent it (the quarter) would NOT fit into the cent sized collar. and seeing how the cent strike is off center from the quarter makes sense seeing how everything gets dissembled to change out the dies. So I call this one a "Mint On Purpose" strike Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

Petespockets55 Pillar of the Community United States 5858 Posts	Posted Today 11H 18M ago Neat! The cent was definitely struck after the quarter. I'm not seeing any sign of the collar die around the Lincoln Cent. So, I'm guessing the collar die was not deployed or absent. Does anyone know if there is some sort of mechanical procedure to filter out abnormal planchets (thick, large, small, etc)? Even vending machines have (or had) a basic mechanism to eliminate "false" coins. If there is, it seems the 25c coin would have been added to the production line after that filter.

mikediamond Pillar of the Community United States 2749 Posts	Posted Today 8H 19M ago There is no way that a quarter can fit into a cent feeder tube or be accommodated by a cent feeder/ejector. Therefore, one must conclude that this "error" was created on purpose. It's certainly not the only overstrike involving an oversized host coin that is known from this year.
