Shayp123 New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 01/24/2022 04:44 am I am very new to coin collecting. I found this 1976 bicentennial quarter in one of my old purses. I haven't used the purse in several years. Long before I knew about error coins. Please give me some opinions so I appear to know what I have. Thanks a bunch! Report this Post to the Staff

Shayp123 New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 01/24/2022 04:56 am Ok thank you silviosi! Just curious, what kind of damage causes the lettering to appear to be melting? I've been researching error coins and thought for sure the chunk out of the hair was a cud error. BUT this is def a learning experience for me! Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 23268 Posts	Posted 01/24/2022 06:33 am @shay, first welcome to CCF. Second, with regard to the lettering on this coin, this looks like mechanical damage to me (as opposed to heat, chemical, environmental, etc).

ijn1944 Pillar of the Community United States 8052 Posts	Posted 01/24/2022 06:47 am Yes, severe post-strike damage. Not an error coin, unfortunately. Report this Post to the Staff
SamCoin Pillar of the Community United States 2443 Posts	Posted 01/24/2022 10:19 am Rule of thumb: if you can think of any way that the effect you're seeing on a coin could be produced through damage rather than through an error in the minting process, then it's just damage.
