Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 73937 Posts	Posted 04/08/2024 04:30 am If definitely had some help for sure. Makes me wonder if a mint employee did it on purpose. It's hard to imagine that it happened by accident. Errers and Varietys. Edited by Errers and Varietys 04/08/2024 04:42 am Report this Post to the Staff

HondoB Bedrock of the Community United States 25087 Posts	Posted 04/08/2024 07:12 am Here's a pic of the slab from the auction. I have soooooo many questions! I couldn't look up the cert number - has anyone else tried? - How magnetic is it? Why did it not stick to the dies or any of the equipment in the line? - It would seem that the shock and heat from being struck would result in the loss of magnetism. - Why is a washer magnetic anyway? - Were any "Washerinton" Quarters produced?

mikediamond Pillar of the Community United States 2734 Posts	Posted 04/08/2024 12:09 pm It's not outside the realm of possibility that this washer could have entered the production stream accidentally. There's really no way to tell. Error coin writer and researcher. Report this Post to the Staff
