Sometimes as collectors we spend so much time showing our best grade coins or most unusual error coins in the highest grade we find or can afford. But how about those fun occasional finds of IMPAIRED PROOF coins? Sometimes they are as or mroe interesting than errors or the unblemished Proof coin.

Here is mine - a 1976S Clad Bicentennial Quarter. A coin I would NOT expect to be put into circulation as I find people like to keep them.

I moved it to the "Post Your..." Gallery Topics forum. Seems like a good fit.
