In looking through the Coinfacts page for the 1875-S Liberty Seated Quarter today, I noticed that two of the coins pictured are actually 1875-s Twenty Cent pieces. I would assume the person/people who manage Coinfacts would like to remove the two photos of the Twenty Cent pieces. If anyone here knows who to contact, could you kindly shoot them an email?

It is rather common for advertised 1875-s quarters to turn out to be Twenty Cent pieces. The 1875-s Twenty Cents coin is very, very common, while the quarter is scarce (but not rare). I even found two of the Twenty Cents coins holdered as quarters in the Heritage archives (old ANACS slabs). Buying an 1875-s quarter from a venue like eBay is really a gamble, as there are so many "misattributed" Twenty Cents coins that it is difficult to filter them out.

it's a tough attribution, not easy like differentiating between die marriages of early half dimes
Passing this along. Thank you.
Wait, what ? The quarter dollar has reeded edge, the double dime has a plain edge.
The quarter dollar has the legend Quarter Dol. on reverse, the double dime has Twenty Cents

So scarce they'd need to post a nickel beside them?
I email directly to Ron Guth RGuth@collectors.com and he usually fixes problems in a day if not hours.

whoosh
If a coin shows up in the wrong location in coinfacts pictures, it is most likely a mechanical error and the slab says where the coin is pictured.
