This was on the ECIE (Error Coin Information Exchange). Fred (Weinberg) just informed us that the Philadelphia Mint has inadvertently struck a whole bunch of Monroe dollars on quarter planchets. I do consider Fred an extremely reliable source for such information, so be on the lookout for this type error coin.

Now the warning. Since there seems to be more than a few (some estimates are over 10,000 struck coins), don't go jumping on the first one that you see on E-bay for a ridiculous price ($1,000.00 +). Wait for a bit and see what happens.

I heard on the NGC forum that the coin counters caught them before any got out, so they possibly could be a rare find.
