    The 1834, You need to gap your spark plugs and couldn't find where you left your tool.
    The 2 cents pieces are interesting.

    Yup that's it! Another one for the contemporary counterfeit collection. I have another 1861 quarter but I believe it's a different set of false dies. Will take a look later on.

    I spotted the counterfeit before I read the comments.

    Same here... very cool.
    Thought the OP maybe wanted the clipped dime, if that's what that actually is 🤔

    Not an error guy but pretty confident that it's pmd.
