Thus my advancing questions and update information. Check the reeds on the edges first now.

The obverse was struck by a false die while the reverse rested on a firm, but somewhat giving material. The soft, blended overlap between secondary and primary design elements is characteristic of a coin struck a second time by a false die composed of a relatively soft metal. The reverse shows some warping and surface irregularities, which is another red flag.

 These are the best I can get right now without another camera. The collar doubled and a little rounded down under the year. You can actually see some of the year doubled on top of the collar on the obverse. |

You all have been very helpful with identifying the coin for me. Thank you all so much! Does anyone have an idea on rarity or value?

Since it's not an error, it has no value, except, perhaps to folks who actively collect counterfeits.

Interesting, I have seen soft die error reproductions on Canadian coins but I think this is my first time seeing it on an American coin. Are soft die fakes becoming more common? I haven't been a collector nearly as long as many of you so maybe iv just been out of the loop lol.
As always thanks for the info Mike.

Counterfeit second strikes delivered by soft dies are seen with some regularity on ebay and go back decades. I've seen them on quite a few Statehood Quarters. Error coin writer and researcher.

These are the best images of everything going on on the obverse of the coin.
