Hi, I recently acquired the following coin and would like to confirm if this is this a real error or if this is PMD? If it is a real mint error, what would it be called? Would this type of error have any value?    Thanks, |

If it's a real error it looks like a piece of a clipped coin got stuck in the rim of the die and the clipped piece got struck onto this coin, though I'm no we're near the others level for errors here so someone else can clarify. Pretty cool if it's not an altered coin

This is a double struck coin, but the second strike is small, still cool and kind of rare on a quarter

Nice error ... maybe SPP or 1960's will chime in.

Definitely a Double Struck coin. The coin was not fully ejected before the second strike pushed the edge of the first strike out causing the lip. Here is a picture of a certified Double Struck cent showing a little more of the second strike.  Edited by JimmyD

Very cool, did you check to see if it's magnetic, I imaging if it's silver(non magnetic) it would be worth a small amount more then the non silver version.

Very interesting.
I am not an expert on errors and really appreciate your comments.
This coin is not silver.

This coin is a good example of a damaged coin but an error coin, most error coins are some what damaged, in this case the higher the denomination, the more the second strike and the date just keeps adding value. Sometime back I shared a multi-struck loonie, they are really rare and cool ! If this coin was struck on silver, it would be something really special

The 1968 25 cents error is called an Indent Strike. Nice

The 1968 25 cents error is called an Indent Strike. Nice Indent strikes are errors that happen when another blank or planchet sits on top of the planchet in the collar When the coin is struck, it leaves a blank area on the struck coin. The OPs coin shows definite signs of an impression so it is Double Struck Sample of Indent Strike. Shows no sign of other coin as it was struck with a blank on top.  Edited by JimmyD
