I should add the seller has 3177 sales at 100% feed back... member of eBay since Nov19... 02...
And has 861 sales for the past year.
Hmmmm!
The small boy brought round a small case-book, which he placed his cuttings.
It's a well known variety, mostly due to there being two cuds, an obverse die break and reverse retained cud.
Legit.
Definitely a legit error, a known variety.
That means that the seller's "un-heard of" claim is totally bogus, of course.
Looks good to me. Can't really see how it could be faked. Great coin.
I have the same quarter somewhere'
Certainly appears legitimate and known.... Neat coin... definitely a keeper. Cheers, RickO
Looks legit to me also... IMO you have a nice coin.
Looks real, but I would never buy coins from P.T. Barnum. That listing is inaccurate and off-putting to me.
If at all possible and time permits for

I would really appreciate your weighing

I like it.
The reverse looks more like a struck thru [perhaps a piece of wire].

It's 100% authentic, and is well known and relatively common as quarter cuds go. I've owned probably over a dozen of them....
That's a nice one - as others said, the "Unknown" part is a bit untrue:

Thank you ever so much for turning me onto that link... that's the one I've been looking for but could not find.

As others have mentioned, it's a well-known
and popular Cud/Retained Cud die break quarter.
Always a nice addition to a Cud or Die Break
collection of coins.
I would like to thank everyone for your quick and accurate responses in my time of need.

Is it known what date this is? I wonder if at some point someone pulled one out of a new roll. Seems to be from somewhere in the 1980s?
Obverse mint mark puts it past 1965, 66, 67 (when no coins had MM's), and resumed in 1968. So, sometime past then. But I'm sure there's an exact date since it's a variety.
The P mintmark did not reappear on quarters until 1980. This quarter has the look of a 1980s design based on the portrait and mintmark, but could be very early 90s as well. I think it was around 1993 that they added the lower relief "spaghetti hair" portrait. (Many 1990s quarters I have seen have a more flattened mintmark than the one shown here, which leads me to believe it is from the 80s.).
Well thought out, JBK. I agree and punched ya up with one.

I'd bet lunch that it is a 1983.
It just looks like a 1983 obverse.....and I am not familiar with this variety... Just going with years and years of scrutinizing coins as my reference.
Sweet, congratulations !!!
