spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 06/12/2019 01:58 am I believe it is environmentally damaged. It's not an error.

Spence Moderator United States 34452 Posts	Posted 06/12/2019 04:17 am @CM4, these pics are fine. I agree with the others that your coin has been damaged. We do see that "wrinkling" of the surface with clad coins that have been in fires.

CoinMom4 Valued Member United States 104 Posts	Posted 06/12/2019 08:31 am Guys thanks so much for answering. Fire was definitely not even on my mind this quarter is pretty bright and shiny. How would a fire reduce the weight? Report this Post to the Staff

CoinMom4 Valued Member United States 104 Posts	Posted 06/12/2019 09:59 am Quote: Congrats on 100 posts. Contest time Ohhhh yay good catch. I didn't even realize I was there finally. But what does that mean? Am I supposed to do a contest ? And ps I 100% agreed on it being PMD when I first looked at the quarter. But I'm not checking this one back yet because I'm not 100% sure. It is been struck a couple of times I'm just having a really hard time figuring out if it's overstruck or multiple strike. And it may have been in the fire, but I don't understand how. I'll put in 2x2 and look at it again later Report this Post to the Staff
