Just got this and took some pictures.

It's struck on a quarter planchet and weighs 5.68 grams. No edge lettering but I'm sure the date is 2009 image

    No it's not. The date is supposed to be on the edge, but because this coin is not as large in diameter as it should have been, it couldn't make contact with the edge lettering dies.


    Extremely awesome find!! Did you buy this or pick it out of a bag or roll??

    Yeap, correct weight and color. You can also see the copper core on the side.

    Thanks Mingot!

    Yeah, these are like the Presidential Dollar in that the date is placed on it with one of those roller machines.

    I didn't find it, I never gotten that lucky yet. Every now and then I pull a silver coin from circulation. Got it from someone who said they found it in a roll. I don't think these were shipped in bags but I could be wrong.

    Is it Unique? Are there more than this one that are known to exist? Fred
    thinks it might be the one and only one yet! I'd get that authenticated
    at PCGS (by Fred!) and get it on the auction block!!

    It was from a mint roll, if that is what you meant. One that comes from a third party wrapper I believe.

    One of the rare Sac mules was found in a mint wrapped roll.... a $250k+ coin!

    I could be wrong on the price, but I still feel it's a 5 figure error.

    Appears to be well struck and very clean too (MS68 ?), especially for being struck on a planchet that is thinner than a dollar planchet.
