Dollar/Quarter Mule - How does it happen?

I received an email from Heritage showing some of the highlights of an upcoming auction and one of the coins in the list is a Sacagawea / South Carolina quarter mule. Would this most likely be intentional or ?? Maybe a test strike of a die that just slipped through the cracks? Really cool coin. Just curious really....

Intentional.

I believe this one was reported to be unintentional in one article I read. They claimed that employee mistakenly installed the quarter reverse die into the dollar press

I'm sure that was the official story.

Sure accidental, but only 1 exists from a coin press that strikes 750 coins per minute.
I vote intentionally made.

Gee whiz! It didn't even get any marks from the dump into the hopper.
It must have had some marks, it was only graded 64.

That was probably the "quick snatch" by the guy on the press.
Well, it happens when a Sacajawea dollar die and a Statehood quarter die love each other very much...
Let’s just sing along together 😁

So which one was the hammer die and which one was the anvil die?

UGH! The more it happens now a days with all of the computer controlled machinery the more I become sceptical -
"When they can't find anything wrong with you, they create it!"
Yes.
I knew that!! 😂

Not sure any past or present organization would want a confession of misuse to be broadcast to weaken an already sagging element of trust, so I feel sure their would be a logical story of some kind told whether truthful or not, I cannot say.

Throw a coin enough times, and suppose one day it lands on its edge.
The older reference for origin was the 'Midnight Mint'... And I would consider this such a product. Plus, I read of unique methods of getting them out of the mint as well. At one point in my career, I had to investigate and identify how 'employees' were managing to steel gold from our plating operation. That was fun. Cheers, RickO

I’ve heard that internal “recycling “ so to speak was one way. Probably better going in than coming out 🙀😂
I can’t quite tell but I think the headline reads “ waiting for payday “
