Looking for any information on the type of strike error on this quarter. Any information would be appreciated. Thanks! (And I apologize for the poor quality photo in advance. I'll try and get to my microscope and post better ones.) Edited by Jhoweird 12/26/2017 11:46 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 12/27/2017 12:41 am That is called an "offset strike". Wow, don't see on 25c often! When there is a loss of detail on not sides in equal amount like you have. This is sometimes referred to as an "out of collar strike", which is the definition of how it happened. The collar is the retaining portion that holds the coin in place, also has the reeding to impress on the edge. This is where the collar failed in timing to rise and coin spread out . neat error, worth $20 or more. to our funny farm! If you haven't been given a rousing one! Your pix are actually OK, use the optimizer tho to crop them to size, it will make details easier to see. Edited by Crazyb0 12/27/2017 12:44 am Report this Post to the Staff
spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 12/27/2017 12:43 am Your coin was struck off-center. The direction/degree of off-center corresponds from obverse to reverse. This one is nice in that some of the coin's devices are cut off. It should have a premium value above face. Nice!
