I know it's a Minnesota parks quarter from 2018 just by comparing to others. I have been told this is a strike error and then others have told me it was ground down which I do not believe. I have not weighed it against any others but I have held them together and they are the same width and circumference. The edges are also pretty straight whereas other quarters have a slightly rounded edge. Mine is missing the whole front of the quarter and the back only has the duck but nothing else other than the very tippy top of the 2018. Let me know what y'all think. Regardless I think its pretty cool. Report this Post to the Staff

As for how to hold this particular coin properly, I think you get a pass. Edited by ijn1944 02/18/2020 7:02 pm Report this Post to the Staff
