What's wrong with this coin? Broadstrike?
Note the back and front scans of the coin. The rim is perfect, so it does
not appear that the coin was mashed in any way, but possibly struck in this fashion. Anybody out there care to comment? I certainly appreciate any feedback. http://members.cox.net/oasysco/coinf.jpg http://members.cox.net/oasysco/coinb.jpg http://members.cox.net/oasysco/coinb1.jpg Thanks, Greg |

And if it is authentic, how much would something like that be worth? Thanks, Greg |

Struck through some glob of something. Extremely dramatic. Get it in an
ANACS slab and it should bring $200 on ebay (if you pay $19.95 to make it a featured item), since state quarters are so hot. |
