Try to think about an meteorite hitting the earth, the impact creates a mound of dirt around the crater that is what happened to your coin. It looks like a square punch was hammered on it.

If it's PMD, then how can it have a raised impression around both holes? It has a copper colored chunk on the face side of the coin that is blocking part of the hole. When you flip the coin over to look at the other side of the hole, it is not the same size as the as the other side and it does not directly line up with the hole. It also has a raised impression around it. Ifnit had been struck with something post mint then it should have an indention on it at one of the holes.   |

Damage like this would make this coin a cull coin. Not a plus for the coin.

There are countless ways that a coin can be damaged but unless you were there
at the time, you may never know how it happened.
The thing to remember is that there are a limited number of things that can happen
to a coin when it is struck creating an error
You have been told this by numerous very experienced members so unless you can explain how
this could possibly happen during the striking of the coin, the only alternative is that it is damage.

to the CCF Just a wild guess here. I think this coin was damaged from a spot wielder. |

... it is not the same size as the as the other side and it does not directly line up with the hole... First, the dark item is in the same place on both sides of the coin. Here is a link to 25 cent overlays to help show how the areas do line up. http://www.maddieclashes.com/twenty...nt-overlays/My guess is that the dark metal is magnetic because it looks like an older tapered cut nail. They are/were used for nailing down oak flooring or wood to concrete.  Put a magnet on it to see if it is magnetic. The tapered part would push the metal outward as it was driven deeper into the coin. (In the reverse side and out the obverse.) This could explain the raised metal on both sides of the coin. Then the nail was cut off and circulation did the rest. It has interesting PSD. I like it more than most PSD coins. Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups.
We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow.

I have to disagree with that it happened after it was struck. It is raised up around the hole on both sides of the coin. The second sentence literally negates the first. Tell me how that could happen under all those tons of pressure. |

A quarter with no errors of that year with the cupronickel layers comprising 1/3 of total weight, the coin's overall composition is therefore 8.33% nickel, 91.67% copper. Its weight is 5.670 grams (0.1823 troy oz, or 0.2000 avoirdupois oz).
The quarter I have weighs 5.5 grams.
It is not magnetic at all.
Could it have been a bad planchet that had a foreign material inside the planchet that is harder than the planchet itself.

Absolutely no way that could have happened during or before minting. Any abnormality in the planchet would have been flattened out during striking, the fact that the metal is raised around the hole is further proof that it happened after minting. Simple case of post mint damage.

to the CCF You are being very resistant to the fact that numerous experts have told you this is post mint damage. So - I'm not going to argue with you but agree this is a spender. |

This is just a theory. The nail that Petespocket55 posted also looks like the nails used for shoeing horses. Farriers also still use a lot of heat at times to custom bend horseshoes. Many have cross hatched heads. If I were to guess, someone might have heated a couple of shoe nails and somehow used a vice to make these impressions. Why? Just to mess with us!  |
