I’m not a neumismatist (sp?), and i can’t find any helpful information about this coin that i have. downloading winrar free . Denver Jewelers . It’s just a regular quarter (i think it may be a state quarter–it’s put away so i can’t really remember) that has the tail end of a penny stamped over the quarter design. i tried to do the same thing to another quarter with a hammer but the design didn’t transfer. has anyone ever seen anything like this? is it maybe a mint error or someone with heavy machinery just messing around? could it be worth something?

A quarter planchet will not fit into the collar used on cent coining presses. It had to have been done outside the mint. The faking of error coins has started to become a big thing, I think most of the time it is just a so-called fun thing and not done to cheat anyone. On the other hand it is done to cheat people. Some one could have heated up the quarter so that the cent would design would go into the quarter. A vice could have also been used. Your coin is not a mint error but just a conversation item.
