PCGS 1977 Washington quarter double-denomination struck on a 1977 Jefferson nickel. The coin has the design of a quarter but is struck over a 1977 Jefferson nickel, and so is a "30c" coin.
There is design detail from the nickel visible especially in the 2-5 o'clock areas of the obverse (the nickel's 1977 date is visible there), and also on the opposing side on the reverse.
The error is quite scarce, with 30c double-denominations being very scarce. There are an estimated less than 25 known for the entire Washington quarter series.
