Vegas107 Valued Member United States 99 Posts	Posted 05/12/2025 01:04 am Is this a trash coin? Recycled meaning? Report this Post to the Staff
Marv65 Bedrock of the Community United States 10601 Posts	Posted 05/12/2025 01:05 am Well it sure does look like a "Cut off" coin - but not in an error kind of way. Report this Post to the Staff
HondoB Bedrock of the Community United States 25602 Posts	Posted 05/12/2025 01:17 am It's not a clipped planchet. Most likely it was worked over with a grinder. Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Report this Post to the Staff
Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74991 Posts	Posted 05/12/2025 01:23 am Looks like PMD. Not seeing any weakness near the letters. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
Vegas107 Valued Member United States 99 Posts	Posted 05/12/2025 01:43 am Why is the color different on the cut off side? The copper is at the bottom and the silver is at the top? Again, it's not smooth where the cut it. It's ridged. Report this Post to the Staff
JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21648 Posts	Posted 05/12/2025 07:11 am Not an error coin, it is damage. Someone has probably tried to make it look like an planchet error. The quarter is made of a copper core with a nickel and copper cladding. That is what you see on the side. Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 97973 Posts	Posted 05/12/2025 09:00 am Agreed, not a mint error, somebody cut off part of the quarter - maybe with diagonal cutters Collecting since 1972.

Metal moves or "bleeds" in the direction of the cut.
