<B>1985-P 25C Washington Quarter--Mated Pair of Quarters--MS64 and MS65 PCGS.</B></I> This mated pair of quarters offers fascinating insight into the striking process. One piece (listed as Coin #2, <B>MS64</B></I>) received a centered blow from the dies, but then failed to clear the press; a second planchet (listed as Coin #1, <B>MS65</B></I>) then partly entered the dies with a small part of that planchet below the previously struck piece. The two items then received a strike. Coin #1 shows an off-center strike with a small indent at the upper obverse; Coin #2 shows a secondary impression to the left, turned 90 degrees, and shows an imprint at the top of the reverse's secondary impression.<BR><BR><B>Coin Engraver:</B> John Flanagan<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
