<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 744812, member: 66&quot;]A ridiculous statement on the part of the mint if they did make it since the ten known pieces come from THREE different die pairs.&nbsp; (Since the Sac dollars were struck on quad presses there could be a fourth die pair as well.) </p><p><br /></p><p>Since the OP said it was a gold QUARTER, I think it would be safe to assume that the coin had the design of a quarter and was the size of a quarter.&nbsp; The sac/quarter mule fits neither of these assumptions and would have been noticed as something other than a quarter.&nbsp; A Sac dollar planchet struck by quarter dies is impossible and can be discarded.&nbsp; (The mules exist because they were struck in a press set up for striking dollar coins not quarters.)&nbsp; The Washington $5 gold can be ignored because it once again is obviously not a quarter, and the size is too small.&nbsp; Clearly the most likely possibility is a gold plated quarter.&nbsp; (A quarter struck on a wrong (gold) planchet can also pretty well be ignored because the gold coins are struck at West Point and no quarters have been struck there since 1986.&nbsp; It is HIGHLY unlikely that a gold planchet would be able to find its way from West Point to Phildelphia or Denver and get into a quarter press.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
