Incredible collection! I have a very nice 1870 example that I got in a bulk lot, and the entire Edward VII / George V run sans 1907 in average...
From top to bottom - Showa 42, 45, 62, and 63. Add those numbers to 1925 to get the year in our calendar.
Both 1985 and 1986 are quite tough, as the denomination was pretty much useless by that point and neither date was introduced to general circulation.
100%, there is also one struck on a Canadian quarter and on a Barber quarter that I'm aware of, and others wouldn't surprise me.
Good luck with that.
It looks like it was struck slightly off center and perhaps with the collar not seated correctly, resulting in the small rim fin. As far as Indian...
I love the original Sacagawea design and was happy to see it back, even if just for a single collectors issue.
It's a disgrace to our numismatic tradition and should've been laughed out of the room the moment it was suggested.
It's the former. Unless they went out of their way to feed the privy quarters into the supply over several weeks, it makes sense that veins of...

Indian errors/varieties like this are relatively common due to the poor quality control at their mints. I don't think something small like this...
Yeah, your coin is 100% a business strike. Looks like a pretty nice one, at least in terms of wear.
Way too weakly struck to be a proof.
It's definitely some issue with the die. I can't say I've ever seen two matching breaks like that. Neat coin.
I'm not a fan. Most of them will get pulled within days of leaving the FRBs and end up on ebay for insane money like the Ws did. If the Mint wants...
I couldn't get mine to glow using natural sunlight, either. Some Canadian collectors I know used either a UV light or phone flashlight for around...
@7Jags might be able to help.
Grades of 9.x are equivalent to MS6x, so this coin is an MS62.
Absolutely not at these prices. I also only collect circulating dates so the 2026 penny may as well not exist in my eyes.
