Hello I want to show off my 1971 D quarter that was struck on dime stock. It got a straight grade from ANACS even though I thought for sure it would get a details grade
I see no reason that coin you bought would get a details grade. I don’t have a quarter struck on dime stock but I hope to one day. Here’s my latest pick up, a nickel struck a copper cent.
I am a huge fan of planchet errors. Here are a few from my collection. Quarter struck on a clad 10 cent planchet, MS-65
A little education here would be appreciated. I would assume that for even one of these to be made that hundreds or even thousands of blanks would be made from the dime stock as they would have processed and entire sheet/coil, correct? Would all of those have made it through the minting process or would they realize the error and just a few would get through?
This is my only wrong stock error. Jefferson struck on dime planchet. @ksmooter61 wrong stock errors can be found probably on most years of early clad quarter. I know it is kind of taboo to even speak of the book. Strike it rich. But wrong stock quarters have been found on 65' 67' 70D 74' and 79. And that book I used was published in 2013.
The reason I thought it could get a details grade is it's got the ring of death on it from coin counting machine. It's not real visible in the pics but if you look at it in hand you can see it. Awesome pick up BTW.
I'd say a few hundred or so probably get out before they notice but coin counting machines at banks tend to reject them so the bank keeps them and sends them back, who knows how many actually get in circulation
From my research and from what I've been told the one I found is a pretty rare date for that particular error, I've only found one other on past sales from multiple selling platforms, too bad it won't make me rich though lol. Nice coin BTW thanks for sharing.
Not necessarily the ring of death from a counter or rolling machine. One thing to remember is the wrong size plant it was used. You have a quarter struck on dime stock and that makes the quarter design weak and stretched out quite a bit. What you see could be part of the reason you think it was detail because it looks like a counter or rolling machine, when in fact, it’s the coins design minted onto something that’s smaller than intended. You have a great error coin so be sure to treasure it.
