You have an in-collar uniface strike. Two planchets were stacked within the collar. Your coin is worth at least $200.

The first cent shows machine doubling. The bottom two coins may show splits in the plating or may exhibit a form of die deterioration doubling...
It's definitely an acid job. Clues are as follows: 1) The pattern of exposure of the copper core. 2) Uniformly fuzzy design on both faces. 3)...
I have no personal interest in the coin, but if you'd like to send it to me for an assessment, contact me at mdia1@aol.com.
It appears to be a lamination error. Given the amount of wear present, the coin would have no collector value. However it certainly has...

A scale would be better, don't you think?
The only certain test is a chemical analysis which will cost at least $100.
No solid copper-nickel quarters have been authenticated in the state quarter series. The three or four that I've personally examined were plated...
Clips this large are hard to find on Presidential dollars. It is undoubtedly worth over $100, and perhaps as much as $300.
