Errorists Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 I won a ebay 30 coin lot of off center bicentennial quarters and half dollars for 45 bucks about 15 years ago. This particular coin still has the grease on it from the mint but it looks double broadstruck. What's your take on it? And should I clean the grease off it??

VKurtB Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 Is that anything like “double secret probation” from Animal House? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James at EarlyUS.com Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 I don't think cleaning it makes sense, but that's a heck of a nice error coin in my opinion! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Question: Have you ever undertaken any formal education in numismatic matters, or are you just “winging it”?
