Photos are out of focus and too small to tell much of anything. We would need to see a clear, more magnified closeup.
Welcome to CT @Thanks shepherd. You may wish to learn as much as you can about the minting process so you can more easily determine what is possible.
I know. But if people going to post photos, they have to make sure that people can actually see them clearly. That was my point.
My point is that everyone else and myself know that whatever he is seeing is some kind of Paredolia.. But he might post better pictures just for you. His last picture was good enough for me.
Thanks everyone for your help but instead of me needing to read up on what errors are possible I think some of you guys need to read more about coin errors instead of being so quick to say no, nope, no way because errors like this do happen here's one for example and if you will notice it is graded by NGC and I trust them if they say it is real The article quoted above is based on an eBay listing for a “1970-S Proof Washington Quarter Struck on 1941 Canada Quarter NGC PF 65.” The coin is currently listed by Mike Byers, Inc. for USD$35,000:
Not to be mean but it’s good practice to know at least SOMETHING about your topic before berating others. The other commenters are bona fide experts; they don’t need to read up on anything since they’re already professional-level themselves. I know it’s hard to accept that you don’t have a $350000 coin, but listen to those who know better, and have been doing this for a lifetime. Myself, unless it’s something I’m an actual expert in (vintage clarinets) I ALWAYS defer to more informed and educated opinions. It may not be what you want, but I think it’s better to live in reality than a YouTube fantasy where you can find thousands of dollars in errors in pocket change
Besides, your supposed overdate has zero relation whatsoever to an incorrect planchet. Those are VERY different errors fields and you should educate yourself on these possibilities
And thank you for the good laugh! Do you think we started collecting last week and this forum has been around only a short time? We know about that coin. We have mentioned it a few times over the Years here on CoinTalk. Your Quarter is still not what what you think it is.. Listen and learn buddy Oh and here is a book written by Mike Byers which I have in my huge Mint Error Library that I have been putting together since 1985.
