Odd quarter. Fake???

Alright coiniacs, obverse shows crescent shape that matches the size of a quarter. Reverse shows nothing. The right side of the crescent has features a bit muted, like a grease strike. Right side is also lower. That is to say the crescent line is raised. Make sense? Do not have a weight, my scale takes batteries that no one carries and have them on order. Feels right though. Anyone want a stab at it?

Thanks for looking,

Michael

This quarter was struck through a detached clad layer. A desirable error.

 

Meaning a layer from another quarter fell on to the planchet and was then struck? And then the dreaded question... how desirable?

Nice find ! pretty cool :thumb:

 

It looks like post mint damage to me.

 

Cool mint error!!!---I can't say a price but I think it is really nice!!!

Yes, this is what happened. As far as value goes, an uncirculated example should be worth around $125. Yours appears to have experienced considerable wear, which would greatly lower its market value. Still, I should think it would bring about $45 on eBay.

 

Thats a pretty cool find

 

Thanks guys for all the input, it is appreciated. Not a bad find for the change jar eh? Keep your eyes peeled, it could be on eBay soon.

Keep looking, they're out there,

Michael

 

If it goes on Ebay put a link in the Auction forum!
