2013 P Mount Rushmore 25 Cent Piece With Some Kind Of Die Issue

To CCF! Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but no, that did not happen during the minting process. It's just a cut. It's PMD, not a mint error. Worth 25 cents. You can see the piled up, moved, and displaced metal from the damage.

The words around the rim are incuse (indented) into the raised rim. The E appears to cross the scrape because the E is sunken deeper into the rim metal than the shallow scrape. i.e. the scrape passes over the E.

Unfortunately, and especially IF you are using AI on google (or anyplace else) you will get a LOT of false answers.

The way AIs are programmed is to scan websites and "average" what it finds to give an answer. It cannot discern fact from falsehood. And it is a verifiable fact when it does not find a specific answer to match it will do what Ai programmers actually call "Hallucinate."

It will make up an answer with no basis in anything verifiable b/c the programmers put more emphasis on it being sociable than factual.

Ask it mintage, ask it to compare verifiable data (such as what year did the US make the most quarters?). But as soon as you ask it to identify, grade, determine if something is a doubled die, etc., you get a chance ot 75% correct answers. Anything needing an opinion going to bring questionable answers..

You have a damaged coin. We see this exact type of damage frequently .

More important is understanding until a person does a good study of what the machinery at the mint can accidentally make when it goes wrong, then that person should realize they have a very slim chance of actually identifying a mint error.

Social media and ebay say just look for something odd. The con hobby knows when people don't know specifics of what to look for then the millions of damaged coins people WILL encounter end up tricking them.
