    Nope, not a real error. It actually almost looks like someone glued a dime onto a quarter (no idea what's going on at the edges of the dime's design).

    There are a number of obvious clues that this is not a real error:

    First obvious clue is the 1999 date on the dime vs 1981 on the quarter. That alone makes it impossible.

    Second obvious clue is the quarter obverse having a ground down look. What might have happened is someone took a hammer and smashed a dime into the quarter, then ground it down a little.

    Third obvious clue is that the obverse design of the dime appears on the reverse of the quarter.

    Oh, no doubt it's fake, but it is an interesting piece, lol.

    And the quarter looks like it was originally a high MS grade.

    Great that you a least know it's fake. There are a few members who would swear that it's a legit error!
    They can be told by the best error coin experts that it's a fake but won't accept it :facepalm:

    My leading theory - The "Roosevelt" on the reverse was a plastic coin that was melted while on the quarter, thus flattening out and giving the impression of being struck on it.
