Here it is. I got it in hand. Sorry, pictures aren't the best. I used my iPhone to take the pictures. It's a waffled quarter planchet.   Errers and Varietys.

Why add the waffle process, most mints of the world just send their security to witness the recycle stuff going into the furnace.

I think the whole idea behind waffling coins is so the Mint doesn't have to pay for security.

I was surprised to see how prevalent waffled coins are on ebay. Fake waffles, too. Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures

This is the result when you do not send security, someone at the recycle plant just chuck them on ebay |

According to the 2023 Red Book, p. 442: Quote:
The Mint has not objected to these pieces' [waffled coins] trading in the open market because they are not considered coins with legal-tender status. Edited by CalzoneManiac
