A1agrl Valued Member United States 177 Posts	Posted 07/26/2023 4:08 pm I just found this 2022 Maya Angelou quarter with an interesting raised area that looks like a serpent pin or broach. Its not worth much but it is interesting. I'm trying to ascertain the cause of the damage. Is it due to a die chip or caused by a gouge? Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34463 Posts	Posted 07/26/2023 4:14 pm @a1a, the castellated appearance and "smushed" metal make me think that this is mechanical damage resulting from a hit from the reeded edge of another quarter.
