Got this quarter fresh from the USMint. Some of the damage on it looks as if there are numbers in front of the face, along with the predominent damage of a screen look.

Any ideas?

Is there any indentation to the design in the coin????.

It appears it was a possible strike through coin, a mesh of some type placed over the planchet before the coin was struck, just my opinion....Mike...

Looks like a discoloration or stain from contact with something. Was it in a Mint set, or from a fresh OBW roll? If you found it in circulation it could be anything. Looks like a brick work pattern?

Is that a 2010? And can we see the reverse?

It came out of a USMint bag of 2009 quarters ordered from the USMint.

as far as an indentation, the spot directly in front of the nose seems to have been hit with what I think I see is a letter "L" and numbers in various spots. I will try to get a few close "scans" and post it.

Some new pictures. I added some contrast to bring out a lil more detail.

What did the weave on the bag look like?

Looks like it was on the planchet before the strike.

The weave on the bag was not it. Bag weave is too small

I'm really interested to know what the pros diagnose this with.

I have a few coins I have been thinking about sending off. I think this one will go along for the ride. I'm a lil excited about it myself.

I think this may be something to do with the way the planchet was washed before striking but not 100% sure
