I have a Vermont State Quarter that has a bumpy texture through out the the coin obverse and reverse. I am still very new to the Coin World, but from some reading I have done on heating and cooling of the metals, I believe this may fall under improper annealing? I could be incorrect so any input/knowledge is greatly appreciated. Report this Post to the Staff

I'd sooner believe exposure to a corrosive liquid, but knowing the weight could be helpful. Thx.

Dearborn Moderator United States 94616 Posts	Posted 03/12/2023 10:45 pm looks like a heavily eroded quarter, pitted from an acidic environment. Yes, we will need a weight of this one to move any further. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.
