Rare Maryland State Quarter Struck on 51% Clipped Fragment

There are many clips, off-center clips and ellipticals, but struck fragments (missing 51% or more by weight) on the State Quarter series are rare.

This 2000 Maryland State Quarter was struck on scrap from the end of the planchet strip, weighing only 49% of the weight of a quarter planchet. Very nicely centered showing Washington's portrait on the obverse and the Maryland State Capital on the reverse.

Struck Fragments are featured in
my NLG Award winning book,
World's Greatest Mint Errors.
