ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19195 Posts	Posted 07/02/2022 4:57 pm Agree. Not an error--post-strike damage. Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34426 Posts	Posted 07/02/2022 6:30 pm Seeing circular mechanical damage like this makes me wonder if this quarter was used to level out a table leg in a restaurant. Impossible to tell of course exactly what caused the damage, but it can be fun to speculate.

Dearborn Moderator United States 97083 Posts	Posted 07/02/2022 7:14 pm looks to me that it could have been used as a spacer in some machinery that rotated. Collecting since 1972.

merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 07/02/2022 7:41 pm If you cannot see for yourself that this is not a mint error, then you have a lot more studying to do my friend. As JimmyD said, this could not have happened at the mint. I suggest you learn how coins are made and study various errors and exactly what they look like. With you next coin you show us, try to describe what you see and be more specific with your titles and question for us. Report this Post to the Staff
