<p>[QUOTE="Puddin'Farts, post: 3347422, member: 100439"]So basically, PCGS says there may be some out there, but let us find them and we'll sell em to you for a hefty premium because we're the only ones that can possibly read the diagnostics of a coin. Kinda suspicious really since there's no record of them or definitive proof of where they came from or how they were made. Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't most years have first strikes from the dies that look better than most? I get that the Half has the very prominent "teardrop" on the 4 but if they were truly intended to be presentation pieces, why use a defective die to strike them? All that is ever noted on the quarter is the lines around the peruke and the fact that it's struck so well that it can be confused with a proof. That's why I had asked. This one wasn't found in pocket change by the way. It was purchased from a collector solely based on the overall appearance standing out from the other 50 silver quarters that I could have bought.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
