Has to be PMD of some sort. That couldn't happen during the striking of the coin. |

It was from a 2nd Gen mint set released in 1995. Wasn't in cello but a hard molded plastic coin sleeve glued into a card stock folder like display.

That's great info Coop.but as I mentioned, the 1995 Mint Sets came in two different packaging styles, the normal cello envelope packs and a heavy card stock folder with the coins encapsulated in a pre molded hard plastic shell glued between the card stock and then slid into a slipcover.
I understand how the sealing machine for the cello packs could damage coins but these other mint set coins are slid into their proper spots and then the plastic shell is glued between the heavy card stock to make the folder.

Was it repackaged by a non-gov't company, pulled from the mint-issues cello packs?

So what year of the current coins were mint sets harder to get? (Hidden answer to this question in the blank space between the two visible posts.)
On the 1982 and 1983 mint sets, you have to order/go the the mints to get there sets. They were not sold as a pair of sets. So if you didn't have these sets to get as a purchase easily, the BU coins from those years are more desirable for collectors that buy mint sets to fill out their collections. So the Quarters/halves in the higher grades those years are still in demand. So hang on to these for future sales. A lot of collectors don't know this, so snag the best ones for future sales.
Hidden message above. Highlight that area to see the answer to this question?

JDRMCB Does that packaging have U.S. mint on it anywhere? Everything from the mint will have U.S. mint printed on it. I can't see it on that one. So that probably means it's a second party product. Then it could have been from the crimping machine.

This one is kind of funny looking for PMD but I can't think of anything that could cause this during striking. As for what coop said it's good advice. Even in Canada lower denomination coins are really tough to find in good shape and we'll struck. On a side note it took me a second to figure out what you were saying @coop  I don't have a click and drag function on my cellphone to highlight but I managed lol. Edited by Wrekkdd

I like to make something memorable using the white lettering. That way it is remember longer.
