1999-P Connecticut Quarter, MS62
Struck on an Experimental Planchet

1999-P 25C Connecticut Quarter -- Struck on an Experimental Planchet -- MS62 PCGS. In 1999, the U.S. Mint tested manganese alloy planchets for the new "golden" Sacagawea dollar before dies for that design were available. Instead, 1999-P state quarter dies, which had a similar diameter, were used to strike a limited number of experimental planchet pieces. Specimens are known for all five 1999 state designs (Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Georgia, Connecticut), and each is very rare. This is a caramel-gold representative with hints of silver-blue toning. A lengthy, narrow line crosses Washington's bust truncation and is possibly as made, on the planchet prior to the strike. The lower portion of the Connecticut side shows incompleteness of strike.
