I'm not sure if any value is in this coin but it looks very neat way better than the pictures whatever this is makes the letters around the outer rim pop like sun shine rays comming off it very neat in hand and sorry about the pictures you can see it what I'm looking at tho it's on both obverse and reverse but only around the words around the rim that's it I'm not sure what this is considered maybe distorted die doubleing I plan to keep the coin even if it's worthless because I have never seen something like this I'm sure someone more experienced has thank you all for any help you give I appreciate the knowledge to learn this hobby

@mint, part of the delay in a response may come from the fact that you have posted this thread in the wrong subforum. I'll move it over to the correct spot no problem, but please exercise a little patience with getting replies. Thx.

I can't find anything that match's this unless I'm looking in the wrong places maybe this is a new variety but not sure but it is really cool in hand it looks like sun rays and it's only comming off the letters on top but all the way to the rim then stops there it's really cool in the light when you rotate it the pictures don't show much of this it looks darker and you can't really see the sun shine lol

I have seen a lot of similar lines around a head, the whole diameter on both obv. and /or rev. I think it is DDD. But it looks cool.

Those coins as this one are cool to look. In fact the rays we see come from old Dies who was use till the end of the life and overheat. It is just a reaction of the clad with the temperature and the cooling fluid. Give a nice look but not more then this. Is not error, is not variety.

Are you sure this is from a worn die or cooling agent anyone that is for sure on this would they please post pics of another coin that looks the same for me to compare that would be great. Only reason I say this is because it's not just a little bit of the coin the rays show every letter that is close to the rim it's on the top the bottom both sides and only off those and in hand you can see the rays are actually the letter but it's not raised it's just very hail like scratches there smaller than even hair line I do agree somewhat with what you say does kind of seem caused from heat but to only have these comming off the letters in such perfect patterns and no where else on he coin or the rim just trying to get better understanding of what's been explained not saying that your wrong I would just like to compare another coin if this happens then surly someone has a picture and also there has to be a name to identify it as like is it a sort of Machine Doubling because overheated cooling I don't believe is a proper term if it's just something that your throwing a guess at please let me know that in the comments please because I'm not looking to sell this coin I found it And I always keep my found coins always there is a attachment finding something .buying one vs finding one to me doesn't have the same meaning to me I honestly would buy a coin to keep as a investment to sell years down the road I'm sure the quarter isent worth much more than a quarter I was just wondering if there is name or a picture of a coin with this around every letter around the rim of the coin only on front and back like this one so I can compare would be very grateful I'm only trying to learn more only reason I messaged again is because I'm at a stand still with it still and I feel like I was shut out because of value and just wanted to know what this would be called please if anyone else can give out suggestions please feel free to throw out ideas even if you 100% agree with overheated die and cooling I'm not tossing the idea at all just felt I got shut down quick on that answer I was gave
