I can't recall the possibility of 1967 quarters being anything other than silver ever mentioned anywhere. Anyone else, or was this a recent discovery? 401094415333 Report this Post to the Staff

thedollarman Pillar of the Community Canada 4911 Posts	Posted 08/29/2016 11:16 pm it is a pattern coin, a test piece for the next year since silver was getting expensive. I got to see one a few months ago, they're really cool. Feel free to call me Will. Report this Post to the Staff
wildflowerAB Pillar of the Community Canada 2845 Posts	Posted 08/29/2016 11:54 pm Thanks thedollarman, that explains it. So it's highky unlikely any would be found in general circulation and this might be another example of a prototype that originally left through the back door of the mint. But I certain,y agree, it's a really cool experimental piece. Report this Post to the Staff
SPP-Ottawa Moderator Canada 10471 Posts	Posted 08/30/2016 01:20 am DC-34 pattern, I used to own one (bought it as ICCS MS-64, put it into a PCGS SP-64 slab). They are all specimen strikes, no idea why ICCS grades them as MS. About 12-15 are known. That ebay coin is about three times overpriced. I sold mine for $4500 in 2014.

Just my Two Cents worth especially what they sell for Edited by john100 08/30/2016 11:19 am Report this Post to the Staff

That's because it is not an error (off-metal strike) it is a recognized pattern strike. Patterns tend to be quite expensive.
