Ky1989 New Member United States 7 Posts	Posted 12/31/2019 04:04 am I just got into coin collecting and this came out of my pocket. At first, I thought "what, did someone take a razorblade to this coin?" Then I posted it to facebook and was promptly told it looks like a new error that was found on an Indiana quarter and I might have something called a scrape in die error. What do you y'all think?

Someone, after this quarter was minted, defaced the coins surface (which is illegal). Sorry, no extra value, but still worth 25 cents. to the CCF!

Ky1989 New Member United States 7 Posts	Posted 12/31/2019 05:27 am Ok now please explain your position. What leads you to believe that this is post mint damage? I'm not an expert, which is why I ask you to explain. The scrape in die errors I've looked at and read about have the same parallel (or close to it) markings, and they aren't cut into the coin, they are raised, which means the die was cut into by something. My guess is the feeder arm (or whatever it's called, I can't remember off hand it's name) Report this Post to the Staff
jasper62 Pillar of the Community United States 2189 Posts	Posted 12/31/2019 07:23 am Looking at pictures provided It was cut with a knife, box cutter,or something else sharp. I'm not an expert but ten years of collecting & studying error's and variety's tells me this. If someone can show an identical coin or the die that caused this maybe I can change my mind, Otherwise it's just a damaged coin and a spender. IMHO In My Humble Opinion Edited by jasper62 12/31/2019 07:36 am Report this Post to the Staff
