Triple Struck Double Denom Rev Brockage Off Metal
That is the
Question.
by Terry Holcomb
-OR-
Triple Denom?....
The slab label is too small
for a full description of this fabulous
error. At the present time, this is the
only known, possible 3 denom, US
error coin. The only other known 3
denom example was recently lost in
a theft.
This incredible piece shows
a state quarter obverse, 50% off
center, with a full incuse mirror
image brockage of Washington,
50% off center on the reverse.
Prior to the strike by the
quarter dies, the planchet was
double struck by 2000-P Jefferson
nickel dies, BUT, it was flipped
over between strikes. In the area
unstruck by the quarter dies there
are clear images of both Jefferson,
and the Memorial, on both sides.

All this is on a copper/zinc
cent planchet that has expanded to a
size that fills a Sac dollar slab.
The final mystery is that
some experts believe Lincoln cent
designs are still visible under all
these other strikes. That makes this
either a full 31c piece, slabbed by
ANACS MS 62 RED, struck on a
Lincoln cent; -OR- a 30c piece on a
Lincoln cent planchet.
Unique in the entire history
of the US mint, I acquired this
amazing error in 2001 as part of
my state quarter error collection
and as a companion to my
Sacagawea Mule error. Inquiries
