Amazing! Your thoughts?

So I walk into my local dealer yesterday and am browsing his coins. He usally has a good selection, but I have picked over his Washingtons. Anyhow he mentioned he had a new Washington Quater he thought I would like. So I get a bit excited and asked if I could see this mystery coin. He takes the coin he has sitting on his desk and hands it to me. I am in total shock! Immediately I ask how much. He gave me a price and it was sold. I never even knew such a coin existed. The date on this quarter is 1946 S. Here is the kicker. Check the image out. Yes the color is spot on.

 

 

 

 

This coin somehow was produced on an off metal.

 

 

 

Ok now that you are drooling, how about I say April Fools! I may not be available on April fools so I had to get it in early.

Well, maybe you are on to something, I like it better than the new $1 gold colored Washingtons

 

When you were at the shop you didn't notice if he had any Lincoln Cents struck on Platinum did you

Good going Bruce!

 

Actually, in early March I did see a WAY cool off metal coin at my local coin club. It was a 1906 Liberty nickel struck on an Indian head cent planchet. It really looked neat.

I think you're a couple of days early but that's alright.

yes it is an unusual error and i have heard of them but never seen one

 

it is a rare trial strike the mint did for peru out of white metal and aluminum and some silver so the coins would be silvery and hence accepoted by the local populase and struck to the same weight and dimonsion sstandards of the washington quarter dollar

 

somehow some of the blank type 2 planchets got mixed in with the washington quarter dollar silver planchets

 

and this one got mixed it

 

superb

Did you not read it was April Fools?

[michael]

i am sorry bruce

 

april fools

[Bruceswar]

I was going to let it run a bit, but I decided not too.. so in the original post I included April Fools. I knew about the quarters you speak of and thus why in theory it would have worked. I could just see it now the chaos I would have caused....

Nice color, I can see why you would want it.
