*** Edited by Staff to Add Year / Mintmark / Denomination to Title. It's very important to have in the title. ***

Looks as if someone drilled out a hole and then later soldered it back, so post mint damage I call

A genuine mule coin is where one die gets swapped out for another die and two different coin types end up as the same coin. Example of a modern mule: the obverse of a State Quarter and reverse of a Sacagawea dollar.

This is not a mule, rather a damaged quarter. PMD

Odd creation of damage on this coin. A curiosity piece only though.

100% agree with @tacc and the others, but might keep it just because the cost of ownership is low and it looks pretty cool.
