Sudz Pillar of the Community United States 1572 Posts	Posted 08/28/2023 8:50 pm I came across this today in a bag of quarters and I'm guessing that it is a case of misaligned dies, but it is pretty extreme so I thought I should check with the fine folks here at CCF. I would appreciate your opinions on the coin, thank you! Report this Post to the Staff

robbudo Pillar of the Community United States 2757 Posts	Posted 08/28/2023 9:48 pm Really nice MAD. They get rarer the larger the coin is: pretty darn uncommon that far off on quarters! Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 95740 Posts	Posted 08/28/2023 10:17 pm On second look, did this quarter get struck twice, one in the collar and one out of it? (an offset broadstrike?) I see collar marks too far in from the edge of the coin. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

HGK3 Pillar of the Community United States 572 Posts	Posted 08/28/2023 10:36 pm Isn't that a collar clash as well from roughly K3 to K6 on the original proto rim? A shot of the edge/reeding in that area would be great to see. Report this Post to the Staff

Yokozuna Pillar of the Community United States 4618 Posts	Posted 08/29/2023 01:04 am Great error and a fantastic find! One of my favorite error types. I've seen a coin that was 40% misaligned, but it was years ago. I even have the term on my 'Watch List' at Heritage auctions. Here's a Jefferson nickel that was struck with 4% misaligned obverse die that I posted not too long ago. http://goccf.com/t/433666 ANA ID: 3203813 - CONECA ID: N-5637 Clean a coin that may be worth collecting? Please DON'T! When in doubt, leave it dirty!! Report this Post to the Staff
