Off-Metal Standing Liberty Quarters
On cent planchet 1917 2 reported by Taxay,
Lighterman undated example stolen in 2001 and recovered
in 2009 has same die breaks as next !!
Note: 1928 P, D or S ex Heritage 1/04 as raw AU53, Heritage
6/04 as SEGS63 (not sold in either sale) – reverse shows
die break not known on any silver example so probably
counterfeit. Cline also owns the 50% off-center on struck
cent which appears in Taxay. It did not look real to me.
Fred Weinberg says it is a fake.
On nickel planchet 1) 1918-S struck 25% off-center !!
On dime planchet, 1920 (2) and 1930 reported by Taxay
On foreign (Peruvian) copper-nickel planchet – 1920,
