What's the best way to know exactly what this is?

Maybe Mr. Mike Diamond can give his thoughts on this as well.

Until there is a definitve attribution it is worth 25c.
The bumpy surface on the obverse is odd. Try soaking in acetone (not nail polish remover) to see if any comes off. If it comes off or not will be helpful information.

Ok I'm going to soak it in the acetone. How long does it need to soak?

While I can't say exactly what happened to his coin, its appearance and specifications are incompatible with any known mint error or anything the minting process could produce. Therefore, I must conclude that this is a case of post-strike damage/alteration.

Well it sat in acetone for about 10 minutes. It did seem to start to smooth it out a little. I was post another picture.

Could you please tell me what the acetone should've done? Also the length of time it should soak. Thank you for all your help.

Appears to be damage, it just doesn't look right for a capped die IMO.

Makes me wonder if it split off the other other half. Maybe some shots at a lower angle to see across the void?

Here's a different angle.Hope this might help clear things up. The edge is very thin and sharp.  Edited by DLM61

I had something pointed out to me that this quarter could be one of 1970s thin quarters. Or weight should be 5.670 but this weighs 3.3. If 8.33% copper and 91.67% nickel. 5.670×8.33%=0.4723,5.670×91.67%=5.197. Add the 2 totals you get 5.6693. Divide that by 50% you get 2.843465. The weight of each side of nickel clad. Now add that to the copper weight of 0.4723 you get my weight of 3.3. Missing one side, mint error or what ? Why does it look strange? This is a picture I got off Jim's coins that kind of looks like mine missing the nickel clad.  Edited by DLM61

Mr. Coop sir, I was just watching one of your videos on you tube on die events and one of a kind errors and I took a screen shot picture of "struck thru wrinkled die cap reverse is normal" I didn't want to post it without permission. It looked a lot like this one. If I have your permission I'll post just that picture. I don't know if I'm doing this right or not I still learning the do's and don'ts.
