[QUOTE="Fred Weinberg, post: 2872209, member: 86437"]Good Morning all - Yes, the quarter was probably made intentionally, like the other two that came out of the famous Calif. Safe Deposit Box auction back in 2001. (of abandoned property) That lot was over 300+ pieces of both BU and Proof errors; the first known Two Tailed circulation coin came in that deal, which I bought from the dealer who purchased it from the Calif. State Auction. That TTQ was sold by me to a well-known error collector. I know this post will go on and on discussing whether such a coin is an 'error' if it was made on purpose. To be honest, I consider it an error because it was struck incorrectly - doesn't matter to me if it was done on purpose - so were the 1913 Liberty Nickels, the 1804 Dollars struck in the 1830's, and thousands of patterns, many of which were struck on purpose years after their original striking purpose.[/QUOTE]
