Question
Joe, I have what looks like a dime but has George Washingtons face on it and is basically a quarter printed on a dime in 1976. I have no clue where to take it to find out whats its worth if anything?

Answer
Hi Jason,
These are known as "wrong planchet strikes".  I have handled a number of these.  Currently I pay $100 for these types of errors.
If you are interested in selling it, I do have to see it, but you can send it to me at
