It's not exactly a "steel" coin. It a steel core with a layer of nickel, then layer of copper and then nickel again. Just think how much a mint/bank bag of quarters weighs (maybe 20 lbs). And bags are chucked on top of each other from a distance if they are going to be rolled somewhere. You could easily have rim serrations make a mark like that. And who knows if it wasn't just a kid with a hammer. It's PMD no matter what. |

I'll hold onto it, as the other guy said it's fairly long so the coin would have had to roll, or something to make the mark this long while not doing any other damage to the coin. It's the lack of any other damage that I don't get and the size. A kid with a hammer, idk what he would have used, it's perfectly even spacing and not damage around the deep dents. They seem almost evenly as deep and to the end it gets smaller, so mayb a coin roll with mass amounts of pressure?

There was over 200 million of the RCM symbol quarters produced in 07, they are generally not handled with all care like the Ottawa mint, when needed they are taken from the storage part of the Winnipeg mint, bumpy ride by forklift to be sorted for final distribution. Marks are bound to occur to a few coins, Winnipeg plant is huge, like 20 acres or so. |

The coin is in circulated state so there is gasilion ways it could of been done. My opinion, PMD.  |

True but I'm good with numbers this kind of strike does not make sense to me as damage or an error the amount of pressure without leaving other marks on the coin are very slim, if it was just another coin. It seems very precise. The odds it is a minting error is just as low tho, it's just the size of it and the psi it wouldn't take and the odds of it being circulation damage are all low. But ya all in all idk that's why I post.

When I'm in the shop tomorrow ill duplicate this coin and post photos, its 100% PMD. For 2007 the quarter is 3 ply with a steel core, copper layer then finally a nickel layer, the copper and nickel layer is soft an you'd be surprised how easy it is to dent.

Struck through reeding fragments does happen, but there is one important observation on your coin, which rules that out. The regions in-between the sunken dents appear to be at the same level of the fields, meaning there was nothing there between the planchet and the die. Therefore, this coin was damaged by any number of means, to create those dents. Compare your coin, to one actually struck through a reeding fragment: https://www.coinworld.com/news/prec...quarter.html "Discovery follows discovery, each both raising and answering questions, each ending a long search, and each providing the new instruments for a new search." -- J.

O I think I get it, like if it was struck through a reeding the whole thing would be indented, not just the grooves, I'd like to see the one you manage to produce, so if it was struck through it would have had to be a bunch of individual notches not attached to each other. It still seems far to long to be just a coin dropped on it, a coin would have to roll across it while pressing really hard.

I had a minute to mess around in the shop, might have gave it a bit of a harder smack with the hammer then what I should have but overall this is extremely easy to duplicate. If I had taken my time to be 100% accurate I'm sure I could make it identical but this should be good enough.

Very close but ya looks easy to duplicate with a hammer. Wonder if someone did this on purpose then, can't see it being just from being in a bag. Also what shop are you guys referring to lol like just your workshops?
