A Wonderful Double Strike

A wonderful double struck silver quarter. A 1960 that did not eject but rotated about 20 degrees before it was struck again. Naturally it's double struck on both sides.

And no, it's not a Vice job. Nothing is backwards. Lol I'm very pleased to add this to my collection.

Very cool.

 

I don't like it..... I love it!
Yummy. Thanks for sharing.

 

Yes, I saw it and fell in love. So much so that now it's mine.

 

Curious on what the value of this is ?

Those are multi struck but a bit different because they are were struck 2 times out of the retaining collar. This quarter that is shown in this thread is struck twice within the retaining collar.
Understand the difference? Those are rarer.

 

Yes. Thank you sir

 

How did you come to this conclusion?

 

Who ?

 

Double struck out of the retaining collar.
Double struck within the retaining collar.

They can even be multi struck.. More than twice.

Both are different. The one within the collar is rarer.

 

correct. the feeders are supposed to eject it from the collar, it's not supposed to pop up rotate a bit and and set back into the collar. it's much harder for this type of multi strike to happen, usually it's first strike in collar, second strike or more out of collar.
In a lot of cases if it doesn't eject it gets a 2nd strike in the same place as the first because it's jammed in there and why it won't eject.

this is much rarer than the other forms of multi strikes, I think the only thing rarer would be a double struck flip over in collar which i can only find a couple of reference examples of online a lincoln wheat cent, a peace dollar, a buffalo nickel, an Ike.

the normal find is with a strike in collar, and a strike out of collar, flip over or not.

and might I add, the condition looks wonderful Collecting Nut. No idea what you paid for it, but this is certainly a coin that would have a lot of fighting over it on one of the major auction houses in my opinion.
The only question is really, no idea what it's worth because everyone that has one sets a reserve that's too high for it to sell normally and it doesn't reach it. it's as if they want to feel it out to what the market will bear but don't actually want to sell. LOL

however you managed it (hopefully not murder ), it's amazing.
