OT/MISC A very odd quarter…advice?

[SurvivalRing]

While going through a pocket full of change, I came across a very odd, misshapen, and too thick quarter. It looks to me like a stamping issue that somehow escaped quality control.

I’ve got two pics, from each side, and a short video showing the fails on the manufacturing process. I know nothing about coins, especially defective coinage. Hoping someone here can recommend what I should do next.

Note the missing detail on the back of George’s head…

A short video of the above as well as the extremely odd edge.

Any advice appreciated…

Very weird! Never seen anything like that before. Hope it's worth a bunch of money for you!!

They might’ve used the wrong planchette…. Might be valuable.

is the edge reeded?

Ellanor ? Fake coin ... no doubt ...

Google "error coins" with the date and denomination. TONS of resources out there.

Was reading about the crack in her hat the other day on a coin page. Yours is very unusual indeed, and I would go find a coin shop and see how rare the smooth edge is

That is a LOT of wear on the obverse for a 2023. My guess is two coins put together. Again a guess.

Well appears to be a production quarter.

Actually, it looks like it wasn't completely stamped, that would explain all the odd things about it.

Could very well be.

I don't know a thing about coins so my opinion is not worth a flip, but I say it's worth about a million dollars.

Possibility also exists that the edge thickness is due to ring hammering. Normally only done with silver content coins, but maybe someone's experiment, and then dropped back into circulation.

Broadstruck error...tends to be thicker, larger in diameter, and usually has weak detail.

Could be worth $20 or so to the right buyer.

Put it in a jar and Shake It Up vigorously. See if it happens to split open. There are things called magicians coins they're typically half dollars with a Mexican 50 peso piece inside when they split open.
I found I believe it was three of them when I was coin roll hunting.

If it does not split open then there's good possibility that you do in fact have a stamping error.

That was one of my first thoughts. Didn’t split…

Now this is something that will keep you up all night! Eh, SR?!?! What a possibly fortunate mystery! Don't forget to keep us posted!

Could be worth a lot of money; get it checked out!

I think it is classified as a planchet error. This is one I found.

 

[naegling62]

You know I think we had a similar goofed up coin like that come through our business. I thought it was something kids had screwed with. I have no idea what I did with it.

Put it away in a safe and clean spot. Some of those 2023 misprints are going for $500+ just a year after printing. They will only go up in value.

The five new 2023 Women in US History coins had MANY errors on them due to getting them out quickly. But they will end up being collectors items in the years to come.

Have any idea of it’s worth…or the worth of a similar error coin?

Most error coins are not worth much unless you can find a buyer that specializes in them.

Here a dollar with offset print I found also.
