Garage job...
At first I was thinking that a quarter that was already struck got put into/above where a dime would get struck but then you'd have the dime obverse over top of where the quarter was already struck..
In my opinion this was done with a vice and washer...
a washer larger than a dime but smaller than quarter was put behind a quarter... the dime was put on top and then some washer smaller than the dime was put on the very top... the vice pushes down ... pushing the dime through the quarter..

Would a washer not destroy some of the dime or quarter if used?

Where did you get this piece out of curiosity?

How much does it weigh? I'm thinking same as AgCoinAu in which case it would weigh quarter + dime.

On the money weight for a dime and quarter combined.
Canadian dime 1.75 gram
Canadian quarter 4.43

If this was a quarter that went into a 10 cent press that then had a 10 coin jammed into it, it would have expected the convex side of the coin to have had marks form a harsh impact (s). Instead it has a nice smooth rounded appearance. with no signs of impactSo I am gong to guess that a dime was place on top of a quarter and the two coins were than seated on top of a cyclindrical die with a hole in it that was larger than a dime but smaller than a quarter.. This was then placed into a press where significant presssure was gradually applied to the 10 dent coin, forcing the quarter to bend up around it as the two coins were forced downward into the die.

Not genuine error IMO. I think it could be created with a small smooth pipe just under the size of a quarter-place the caribou side on the pipe end, place in press or vice, place dime on the quarter and put a wooden dowl on the dime and start winding the pressure. Spreads out and distorts the quarter almost making it look like a die cap of sorts and Voila I want to add a thank you for your work Daryl, sometimes the best way to learn is to try to duplicate or create    Edited by Alan

Definitely not to be confused with a real nested die cap...

I wonder how long it will take for one to show up on ebay? Likely it will happen. Again, thanks Daryl, very proactive to do this sort of thing. I hope the grading companies do this themselves so they know when something like this rolls in. |

Thanks Alan, I know with certainty that these will not make it to ebay. I also know that these will not accidentally make there way into a vending machine. |
