Spence Moderator United States 34458 Posts	Posted 02/28/2026 09:46 am My vote is 100% post-mint damage. I can't say if it was a person or machinery, but this quarter didn't leave the mint looking like this.

JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21680 Posts	Posted 02/28/2026 09:52 am Definitely damage, no way that could happen when the coin was struck. About 99% of anomolies are on a coin are damage, not an error. Suggest you study on how coins are struck and what an actual error is.

If they are valuable, just looking for fair price and a home where they would be given the due they deserve. Also not here trying to get rich at all. Just learn a little and hopefully maybe find one for ya that might be a "unicorn:" Report this Post to the Staff
