Can we pair this Blue Angel Ike dollar with its mate?

This is a very interesting coin from the Blue Angel Collection.

Error coins look weird, and, usually, the odder they look, the rarer and more desirable they are. One of the Eisenhower, Bicentennial dollars in the Blue Angel Collection showcased a reverse indented by a quarter dollar planchet, according to the Professional Coin Grading Service. The error occurred when a planchet intended for a Washington quarter dollar was mixed in with Eisenhower copper-nickel dollar planchets.

This quarter dollar planchet was then struck between the reverse die and the dollar planchet, resulting in an indent in the lower left reverse. The quarter planchet did not stick to the dollar, but the resulting void creates a virtual second moon on the reverse and, explains Heritage, “The borders of the Ike dollar are softly impressed except opposite the quarter indent, since the width of the quarter planchet interfered with the peripheral strike.”

Somewhere, out there, the mated partner is lost.

If this quarter was found, I still couldn't afford the cost.

What if it was found in a roll or in change?

Most likely it was kept or discarded by the mint employee working the press…

Either way, I hope it finds its way into collector hands so it can be rejoined with its mate!

My favorite indented Ike Dollar by a blank, is the proof Ike Dollar indented by a foreign copper blank, selling for 40k.

And it is still mated!

Wow... Those are significant error coins. @Byers.. Amazing that the two were paired in slabs. Cheers, RickO

Mr Lindy

Indent too small for 25c. My better guess is 5c
