power strike

Oh ok, I thought the orange was just the pic color, some cameras make the coins orangish.

thanks, so i classify this break in collar die as what?

 

i would guess so. thats a very unusual sight to see that much of an offcenter strike for the half. it made my day. my math teacher that got me started collecting bought a penny that is 53% offcenter.

 

AND the ga quarter is characterized as???

 

If that California quarter is the same thickness as any other quarter, it may just be toned. I have several State quarters with a "gold", or as you describe it, "orange" toning, similar in appearance to this one.

 

i like the california.. its pretty rare looking

 

"Your Georgia quarter I'll leave to Mike Diamond to weigh in on. I have a guess, but I'm not sure".....
the california quarter is legit. MY QUestion is: what is the correct characterization for the supposed collar die break for the georgia quarter???

 

Hi All,
The California Quarter is definitely struck on a planchet missing a clad layer. Could even be in the $400.00 Range. The Georgia appears to be struck in what is called a partial collar. Worth about $25.00 to the right buyer.
The kennedy can be worth as much as $100.00 or more to the right collector it is a noce Off-center strike
Have Fun,
Bill
