CCFPress Press Manager United States 1420 Posts	Posted Today 7H 37M ago 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.

nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15790 Posts	Posted Today 2H 32M ago I like it, but IMO most likely an employee assisted mint error. Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 103814 Posts	Posted Today 46M ago 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.
