    My question is...is this quarter a miss print. It looks like it may be a miss print. The "C'' looks like a double stamp. Has anyone seen any like this.

      It's hard to tell from the image, but it looks to me like the enamel color was applied a little off center.

      yes the color does look off center, and the picture could be better, but if you compare this to another Connecticut coin, the C in Connecticut as well as the 1 in the date of 1788,the mint stamping looks off as well. Especially the 1 in 1788 looks like it is shifted too far to the left, and the painted 1 is where the mint stamped 7 in 1788 is. The bottom part of the 1 is in the tree limbs.This is visible by the picture. Could this be a new find.

      Unfortunately the pictures are entirely too small for me to say anything definitive but it looks to me more like the machine used to "color" the coin was offset and printed the color in the wrong area.

      Even if this coin is a misprint the unfortunate fact of the matter is that these coins are altered outside of the mint which significantly reduces their value to most collectors. While I find coins like these to be a joy to find in pocket change; they're also a bit of a sad note as well because so many coins which would have been significantly valuable have been damaged in one way or another by plating or coloring.
