jello if i'm remembering correct a few 40% silver planchets were mistakenly rolled out to dime and quarter thickness so the 40% silver dimes and quarters would be their correct thickness. this would make them really hard to find when roll searching.
I have seen the population of both dimes and quarters ,if recall it was less than 20 for both added together . Jack Lee collection had one coin but I don't recall what it was . Coin World had a list of them back in 2011 /2012 when they did the decade series .
From CoinWorld Almanac 8th edition: "...Some 1965 coins are known struck on silver planchets of 1964 composition, while some 1964 coins were struck on clad planchets (1964 coins were struck through 1965, with planchets for both types of coins avaliable side by side)..." Way to plan U.S Mint evil:
What ever I just know there is a handful of silver 1965-1970 40 or 90% dimes and quarters. Jack Lee had the highest graded coin .
It was my understanding that you can't get a smaller coin (dime or quarter) struck on a larger planchet (half), because the larger planchet won't fit into the press. I'd expect to see the occasional 1965-1970 half struck on a clad quarter planchet, but it would be a major and obvious error. If they exist, there's got to be an explanation. I just don't have it.
Quarter planchets punched out of strip intended to be used for halves would not be larger. They would be thicker and would still fit in the press.
90% or 40% I do not know that answer.All I know is there is a few of 10c+25c minted with wrong metal.
Good Evening all. Was going through todays pocket change and noticed quiet a few rare marks on this 2000 North Carolina quarter. To me it seems like it has lots of doubling on the face side of the coin. Need your help to determine if so. If so, what type grade may it carry based on the photos, and is it worth anything other that face value. Would like some feedback. Thank you all.
Ruben your coin is only worth face value . you should have started a new thead for it so it would be so confusing. the coin shows common die wear around the letters. this is called die detoration
