    now that the post is editted it makes sense. I used to just be an image of the obverse borckage and a pic of the reverse brockage

    Although not impossible, the only way that could happen would be if one planchet was put in, struck, stuck on the anvil (or hammer) die, the another planchet was fed in, struck, and stuck on the hammer (or anvil, if the first planchet got stuck on the hammer) die, and then in one of the following strikings one of the stuck planchets dislodged, flipped over, and then got struck, and got stuck AGAIN on the die. Under that configuration, if a fresh planchet was fed in and struck, this would be the resulting appearance.

    Seems rather improbable, I think someone had been fiddling with some pictures image

    A B-3 obverse never met a B-2 reverse - until now.

    C'mon, it's gotta be real, it's in a slab.

    Sell it on ebay, and then later you can defend yourself by saying you have dyslexia.

    Just make sure you srcew up all the tpying in the beay add.

    LOL

    I know the previous owner of those coins and considered buying them at one time. They are spectacular!

    That is truly incredible and you definitely SUCK!!!

    Wow, now that is spectacular. Made together and kept together all these years, these had to be one of the earliest "midnight mintings"

    the pair would look wonderful as the centerpiece of a complete set of 1804-1807 quarters in VF

    This has to be the widest thread I have seen in many months. Have pity on those with small monitors, and dial-ups. Crop it please.
    I collect Capped Bust series by variety in PCGS AU/MS grades.
