Ok yes this looks more like damage to me rather than cancelling. Someone may have been having fun with a metal file.

But are you familiar with the X style of canceling state die?  |

The mint sold cancelled State Quarter dies for a while, there are quite a few out there. BTW, if a coin was struck with that cancelled die the "X" would be raised above the coin surface. |

Well, your Wisconsin-D quarter doesn't seem to match up with the actual obv.die that has been cancelled, so  with Spence and nfine here. |

Damage, likely in a washer. This is what a washer does. This coin was stuck between the impeller and the tub in my LG washer for almost an entire cycle...   Even if it wasn't a washer, this is in no way, shape, or form and error. Also, the canceled die you've shown looks absolutely nothing like your coin. |

@spence
That's part of what I'm wondering about. If I submitted it for grading would they grade it and return it, or say I took a metal knife to it and keep it? I've seen couple other posts about coins like this in the past couple years. Those hit dead ends in their search for information as well.
So this is trash and I should spend this at the laundromat? Is that what your saying?

 to the CCF! I thought you were talking about a canceled coin like the one below. This Susan B. Anthony was graded as Brilliant Uncirculated.  While I've never seen a quarter struck with an X canceled die, it would be interesting! I have seen dies canceled with a grinder that still had a small area of the design, but I haven't seen any coins struck with partially canceled dies. Here's one from my collection and a Photoshop mockup of the area over a struck coin to show what was left on the die.   ANA ID: 3203813 - CONECA ID: N-5637 Clean a coin that may be worth collecting? Please DON'T! When in doubt, leave it dirty!!

That pic of a canceled die was from some post somewhere about what someone thought they heard or found about canceled state die. The person that posted that pic was using it as an example to basically say' "but I don't know how much more of the rest of the face was filed off because no one has actually seen one"  |

This is not the coin you thinks it is.

It shouldn't even be up for a vote. This coin is straight up damaged, bet the house on it. All the marks are incused and you can see all the displaced metal scraped and pushed up. If you understand the minting process, it's a no brainer.
If that random die you found with the X cancel were to strike any coins, the X would be raised.
But if you feel that certain about it, send it in. Everyone usually learn one lesson the hard way. This will be an expensive lesson.

Yep, damaged. Waste of time to send it in.
