So I purchased a lot of 12 silver coins on ebay on a hunch that one was mislabeled. I payed 45$ shipping included. Gotta love when hunches work out. I found this cute little 1945 micro-s merc mislabeled as a 1943-s. Not too sure on a value, but I figure $20-$70. almost pays for the rest of the coins I'm thinking. I also found this weird quarter with what looks like it got stamped on another quarter. Any ideas on value? I think it was a 1982 if I can find where I put it. 20170206_204224_resized.jpg 20170206_203317_resized.jpg 20170206_203142_resized.jpg 20170201_181929_resized.jpg

Nice! Congrats on the good find. :) I think the quarter is just damaged from some sort of after-die machinery, probably not mint related. That's my guess.

Cheers,

Skippy

So what would press those two quarters together like that? I see the t and a few other letters from another quarter imprinted in reverse.

Those are nice to have. The 1945 micro s dime is listed at $3.25 in GOOD condition, and $13.00 in Extra Fine. 41,920,000 were minted, that # would include both the 1945 S & the 1945 micro S. I like what you have.

Yeah I started looking into it and $ found anywhere from 3 or 4 $ to like 2 thousand(high ms grades). The few certified graded I found that went in auction this year (2017) that were au grade went for 40 to 120.
So Im betting mines a 10 to 15 $ coin without any type of certified grade. But I'm still pretty bad at this grading game, so it probably is only a 5 dollar coin hahahaha.
