<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Check_M_All, post: 167094, member: 6661&quot;]It&#039;s not uncommon for these coins to find their way into circulation, and the truth of the matter is that the vast majority of people never even look at their change... not even to count it and make sure it&#039;s correct. So who knows how long it&#039;s been out there.</p><p><br /></p><p>I found a quarter about 6 years ago. It was sitting on a shelf in a handful of change I had dropped there. The sun was hitting the change, and something didn&#039;t look right about this one coin. I picked it up and looked at it. 1987 Washington... nothing unusual. Rolled it around in my fingers a few times. Looked down again... Nothing unusual, a 1981 Washington. Wait, 1981? Flipped it back over 1987... Upon very close inspection, I was able to discern where the 1987 had been milled out and the 1981 had been cut down to fit inside. By all initial appearances, it was simply a well circulated quarter.</p><p><br /></p><p>As I understand it, there is no way for an accidental to head/tail coin to be produced as the upper and lower dies fit the press differently... I may be wrong though, as I am about many things.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
