<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Troodon, post: 329290, member: 4626&quot;]Modern errors aren&#039;t that uncommon... it&#039;s just very rare for them to get out of the Mint, as quality control is fairly stringent.&nbsp; But mistakes can happen, and manage to get out of the Mint before they&#039;re caught.&nbsp; Remember the state quarter/Scagawea mule?&nbsp; It did get caught before it got out of the Mint... and they did melt all of them... or at least they <i>thought</i> they did... it turned out a few got missed and ended up outside the Mint, the first being discovered as change in a post office vending machine... so far I think 3 have been discovered.</p><p><br /></p><p>It does seem odd that this was found so quickly since the only business strikes of Scagaweas you can possibly get would be from Mint-sold bags and rolls... and its proximity to where it was minted does seem a tad suspicious lol... however this is more beleivably an &quot;error&quot; than say, the extra leaf Wisconsin quarters I think.&nbsp; They do use the same planchets after all.</p><p><br /></p><p>Question:&nbsp; Are the planchets lettered before or after being minted with the main design?&nbsp; Want to be able to picture the normal process and how this could end up getting lettered in error.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
