Hi everyone. I am new to coin collecting and new to this forum. I wasn't sure where to go for advice. My kids and I having been having a lot of fun sorting and collecting coins. I have found a few coins that look odd to me and I don't know if they were minted this way or altered afterwards. I just know they don't look like the 'typical' representation. The first is a 1999 quarter. It has these weird diagonal strips in it that goes through both sides. They seem uniform and at nearly a 45 degree tilt to the North/South of the coin. Could one of the machines at the mint have caused this?



I also found a nickel with no date. These are common on Buffalo nickels but this one is fairly new. Is this just worn really weird in the date spot?

At first I was was going to say roller lines but they are too evenly spaced.
Perhaps someone else can add to this.
Your nickel has what is called a Grease Filled Die on the date.
In the future, please post one coin per thread.
Sometimes it gets confusing when there is more than one coin at a time.

Correct typo

On the quarter, looks like a stain of some kind. On the nickel, I agree with a Struck Through Grease. Also,best to remove coins from holders before taking photos whenever possible.
