Very interesting scrap!
Anyone know what this was struck on?
This coin has the great CTF @ErrorsOnCoins provenance

Looks like a piece of the remains of a clad sheet.
It certainly looks like clad but the surface looks very uneven to simply be part of sheet. It looks like something interesting happened to it.
Well, it was struck 4 times after or during being balled up.

I don't know about the Mint process itself, but rolling out a metal sheet can leave such ragged tailings behind.
It would be interesting to understand more of how this formed.
The depression on Washington's jaw and neck are very interesting.
It would also be interesting to see some mint scrap tailings. There are some PCGS certified mint webbing and it would be interesting to see some rougher tailings.
That one was chewed up and spit out.... a couple of times... Cheers, RickO
And now a valuable collectible
I've seen PCGS slab the following but no other one that looks like this.
And 1 cricket 😉

One $5,000 cricket!
@Zions
That is a very cool scrap Quarter struck 4x!
It is very cool looking and fun to count the strike impressions!
Interesting that the reverse trueview is facing the wrong direction. I would think they would correct that if someone pointed it out to them.
Good point!

Quite the increase since sold on eBay a few months ago.
Every thread eventually comes up crickets or CAC...
Awesome Find
It even has somewhat of a tone.
Congratulations
