Absolute Monster Broadstruck Clad Quarter

What makes this piece especially fantastic is that hardly any of the devices/designs or lettering are stretched out, distorted, or missing (except for the lower leg of the letter "E" in "QUARTER) despite its huge diameter.

It is actually the diameter of a half dollar from almost every angle. It is huuuuuge!

A stunning example in a nice grade, and a cool edition for my error collection. Enjoy! ~Joe

Super nice. Almost looks like t tea cup would fit in there.

 

That is an absolute beauty.
Be nice to see the diameter listed on the label.
It appears much larger than normal.
Probably matches up well size with a modern dollar coin.

 

Look a Byzantine quarter!

 

Amazing the coin didn't split somewhere & the shape is so round.

 

I know! Broadstruck dimes don't stretch out nearly as large yet splt very often.

 

At what point is it considered die capped?

 

JCro57, doesn't a die cap require more than one planchet? Two stacked together to form a strong cup shape. I'm just guessing....

 

I guess it is a cupped broadstrike? (That's what I meant to say, not die cap)

 

The Blank Planchet is heated prior to striking.
So when it's struck out of collar it is still soft enough to expand evenly. A multi-struck Broadstruck may start splitting.
But not always.. Here are 2 examples from my collection -

 

Question I a quarter similar just wondering what they for? On average

 

i have no idea what you are asking as your sentence is grammatically incomplete and missing words.

 

I will make sense of it for you!...

Question. I have a similar quarter. Just wondering what they sell for? On average?

 

Ronald. You need to post a picture in order to attribute it as an actual mint error. Or else we can't help.

 

Yes they are annealed to soften them, then cleaned and dried. But they are cold when fed into the press. (some people think they are struck while hot)
