Chopped Triumphs Pillar of the Community United States 562 Posts	Posted 02/12/2023 03:02 am In the movie the kids are creating an error on a Michigan State Quarter. When they're sent to ANACS they come back as graded token nickels. Just curious. On a side note, next month Planet Hollywood in Orlando will have some of my Daniel Carr movie prop quarters in the Coin Heist display.

Chopped Triumphs Pillar of the Community United States 562 Posts	Posted 02/12/2023 12:01 pm Nfine,the top photo with the grade would be considered the obverse, the bottom photo with Dan's signature would be the reverse. Thanks for looking! Report this Post to the Staff
nfine Pillar of the Community United States 3468 Posts	Posted 02/12/2023 12:45 pm Looking at descriptions of the Moonlight Mint site, Dan uses the term "Nickel Copper" to describe the metal composition used for his parody quarters. It could be "Nickel Copper" wouldn't fit on the slab? Report this Post to the Staff

dsking Pillar of the Community United States 2365 Posts	Posted 02/12/2023 2:31 pm That's a design concept quarter. It was used in the movie "Coin Heist" and is not for circulation. It's a quarter. There's more info on the Moonlight website. I just extrapolated this bit of info. Michigan State Quarter concept, 2016. Obverse (Type 1 and Type 2): Washington State Quarter design based on original by John Flanagan. Reverse: Michigan fishing scene (two varieties). Type-1: George Washington obverse, reverse with 1 fin on back of fish. Engraved and struck by Daniel Carr. Type-2: George Washington obverse, reverse with 2 fins on back of fish. Engraved and struck by Daniel Carr. Type-3: Obverse with 1 fin on back of fish. Reverse with 2 fins on back of fish. Not engraved or struck by Daniel Carr. Report this Post to the Staff

When I said it was smooth I was trying to see the edge on the one in the holder.. It's obviously reeded. Quote: That's a design quarter.

Thank you Dsking, I think my question is more about the ANACS holder. Why do they call it a nickel and not a quarter? Report this Post to the Staff
Sap Moderator Australia 16816 Posts	Posted 02/12/2023 6:05 pm Well, it says "25C" on the second line, and "nickel" isn't a denomination they normally put on slabs, it's a nickname. My guess would be that's the composition, rather than the denomination. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
