The first one is just... strange. Someone went crazy with the I stamp or something.

This I think is some kind of lamination error? I've not seen one quite as large as this, but that is what my guess was. It's 4.80 g

I like it :)

that first nickel looks like PMD, the second one-- not sure what that is, if it's a lam error it's pretty crazy. I've never seen that before. curious.

greetings from key west. I have a friend in corvallis.

to the CCF, Jezirabid!
Your first coin looks like it got hit with a meat tenderizer. The second was worked over with a wire wheel. But at least they are 35% silver!
Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures

Going forward, please show only one coin per thread. It helps keep the discussion focused. You may start as many threads as you wish if you have multiple coins to show.

Yep - that 1943-P is well worn and simply damaged. Its value is in the 35% silver content.

My impression of the 1944-S is that is damage. Selective grinding perhaps? I look forward to other views.

I moved your thread to the US Modern V/E forum.

Yes, both are just damaged quarters worth the silver value.
There is nothing there that could have happened when the coin was struck.

Both coins are just damaged. PMD. Only worth their silver melt value.

Second one looks like maybe a file was used. Those grooves are pretty deep.
