    20210629_020333.jpg recent coinroll hunting find a 1985 Washington quarter that seems to be a double muled. The back of the quarter features the back of a Jefferson nickel and the front of the quarter features the back of a Lincoln cent. Both the Lincoln and Jeferson designs are raised not indented i dont know how or why but im pretty excited about this one 20210629_020350.jpg

    Look around the coin whats going on around Washington and other places was caused by excessive force to add to it.

    Glue there is no glue on this calling there's displace metal from a previous strut coin even the ICA on the front of the coin at the bottom of the neck is protruding out every design is raised the only way to do this is if they had their own dies but even then I don't see it happening

    Because you would have to strike the nickel in the penny first and then strike a quarter over it for the quarter to be the dominant feature

    I doubt "Mule" is the correct term for your coin. I have a First Spouse Bronze Medal "mule" with the obverse of the Abigail Adams medal paired with the reverse of the Louisa Adams medal. I suppose yours could be a double squeeze job to create the illusion of a Mint error.

    Mismatched die strike
    This coin exhibits obverse and reverse designs that normally do not belong together; that is, they are for two different coins. This error is commonly referred to as a “mule.” Until recently the only known U.S. “mules” were pattern strikings. The U.S. first circulation strike “mule” has now been confirmed. It is a States quarter obverse matched with a Sacagawea dollar reverse. Several foreign “mules” are known. Beware of “magician” coins that have been altered outside the mint. Most common are the two-headed coins and the cent and dime combination. It is impossible for either of these to be produced in the U.S. Mints.

    It's a sandwich coin damaged., and it's nothing else.

    Everyone above who has told you that
    is experienced, and has seen this 'effect'
    hundreds of times before.

    It's your coin, but it's not an error of any
    kind or type. It did NOT leave the US Mint
    looking anything like that.

    Sorry to burst your bubble
