Dearborn Moderator United States 97163 Posts	Posted 12/21/2023 6:39 pm very cool find - an off center partial collar in the wild.. But, errors like this you want to NOT handle it by the flat surfaces and add more fingerprints to it. Soak that baby in Acetone ASAP to get the new oils and acids your skin put on it then 2x2 it!

Winthrop New Member United States 5 Posts	Posted 12/21/2023 7:30 pm Regarding coin flips, since the coin is oversized by maybe 0.5mm in diameter, will it still fit a quarter sleeve? Do they leave wiggle room? What is MAD? I certainly have a lot to learn. Edited by Winthrop 12/21/2023 7:37 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 97163 Posts	Posted 12/21/2023 7:43 pm MAD is a Mis-Alined Die You can put this quarter into a 2x2 for a half dollar coin. But this coin is not a MAD strike.

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 12/22/2023 04:17 am Winthrop, Just to be clear; your coin is not a MAD and it will fit in a holder meant for a half dollar sized coin. Make sure to staple it on all four sides and flatten the staples down. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
Winthrop New Member United States 5 Posts	Posted 12/23/2023 5:58 pm Thanks, all, for your insights. It sounds like I have acquired an oddity good for conversation at dinner parties, rather than an eye-popping discovery. I have already treated the coin in acetone and will track down a 2x2 as the opportunity presents itself. For now it will live in a ziplock bag. Report this Post to the Staff
