TNG Bedrock of the Community United States 10284 Posts	Posted 07/13/2017 12:44 pm Even if by a remote chance that the obverse half layer was detached or separated in the mint striking from the copper core, it would not have that shiny surface which I can see even with the poor images. If it was a defective planchet and missing the one layer, it would have the obverse design on the copper side. Report this Post to the Staff

biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 07/13/2017 1:41 pm Unfortunately, it is not even worth 25 cents any more because it is doubtful that you could even get someone to accept that mutilation as a quarter Report this Post to the Staff
Halo1st Pillar of the Community United States 2775 Posts	Posted 07/13/2017 2:59 pm The Federal Reserve banks used take recognizable "uncurrent" or mutilated coins at face value to be recycled into new coins. In 2015 and extended through 2016 they halted the program. Quote: Quick Circulating Coin Facts: Mutilated Coins: United States coins no longer fit for circulation are classified as "uncurrent" or mutilated. Uncurrent coins are coins that are worn yet recognizable as to genuineness and denomination, and are machine countable. Uncurrent coins are redeemed by the Federal Reserve Banks, then forwarded to the Mint for disposition. PLEASE NOTE: The Federal Reserve Banks' acceptance of uncurrent coin deposits is temporarily suspended. See Notice of Suspension. Mutilated coins are coins that are chipped, fused and not machine countable. Mutilated coins are only redeemable through the United States Philadelphia Mint facility. PLEASE NOTE: The United States Mint's acceptance of mutilated coins is temporarily suspended. See Notice of Extension of Suspension. Uuncurrent or mutilated coins redeemed by the Mint are melted and reused in the manufacture of coinage strips. https://www.usmint.gov/about_the_mi...ecifications At the time I read that tons and tons or barges of mutilated coins and or other materials were coming in from foreign lands to be exchanged as US coinage that was questionable. Outside the following link I've not found any more info on the program lately. Thanks, Doug.

jbuck Moderator United States 188440 Posts	Posted 07/13/2017 5:21 pm An interesting find. I agree, it might have been the start of a Magician's coin. A keeper if only for the novelty of it.
