It appears to be minted this way. * Edited by Staff to crop and/or rotate images. In the future, please crop and correctly orient images before uploading. * First two lines of the Upload Form Report this Post to the Staff

HondoB Bedrock of the Community United States 26742 Posts	Posted 08/11/2026 6:45 pm to the CCF, Grandpasam. Your quarter appears to have been subjected to great heat, such as an intense fire. It's not an error and unfortunately is worth only face value. Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Report this Post to the Staff
ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19394 Posts	Posted 08/11/2026 7:41 pm Agree--a case of exposure to rather intense heat, leading to damage. The coin didn't leave the striking chamber in that condition. Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16931 Posts	Posted Today 1H 8M ago It is not an error, but fire/heat damage, as others have stated. However, it may no longer still legally be worth 25 cents. Coins that are damaged or mutilated to such an extent that they no longer pass a coin counter are considered no longer legal tender and are only worth scrap metal value. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
