Comment
This piece is the result of using State Quarter dies to test Sacagawea dollar planchets. Although listed as an error by most grading services and auction sites, this was an authorized and intentional strike and therefore a pattern.Interesting fact
The Pattern ¼ Dollar "Washington Quarter" (Georgia; Pattern) 1999 from United States made of Manganese brass clad copper weighing 6.80 g is a unique and rare coin that was never put into circulation. It was created as a pattern coin, which means it was produced as a trial or sample coin, and not intended for widespread use. This coin is particularly interesting because it features a unique design that was not used on any other coin, and its Manganese brass clad copper composition makes it stand out from other coins. Additionally, its weight of 6.80 grams is slightly heavier than a standard quarter, which makes it even more distinctive.
