WAFFLE CANCELLED MARTHA WASHINGTON EXPERIMENTAL QUARTER

NGC (2011-2013) Martha Washington experimental quarter, waffle cancelled, and listed as J-2225 on U.S. Patterns.com.

The coin is an experimental Martha Washington design which was used in 2011-2013 for experimental testing of metals being done by the U.S. Mint for possible replacement of the metals used in our circulating coinage. The quarter design show here was tested in 9 metals, and this is one of them. It is listed as J-2225 on U.S. Patterns website: http://uspatterns.com/2012testpieces.html which briefly shows the 9 metals tested for the quarter design. This particular coin is the one struck on the normal "clad" quarter planchet.

Although the coin is waffle-cancelled, it is still desirable, since it is an example of the genuine Martha Washington clad experimental quarter. It is unique as of this writing, with no other examples known in collector hands.
