CAR33 New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 07/02/2012 9:00 pm Hello, I found this quarter while going through some pocket change. It is a 1966 Washington quarter. The front looks fine, but I have no idea what happened to the back. Is it anything special? I took the best pictures I could with my iPod, sorry it's the best I can do right now. Any help is appreciated. http://m1145.photobucket.com/albumv...jpg.html?o=0 Report this Post to the Staff

vermontensium Moderator United States 16679 Posts	Posted 07/02/2012 9:09 pm CAR33. Photo is not really clear enough but, let's see what the experts say. Could very well be PMD. swcoin.ecrater.com Report this Post to the Staff

Fuzzy317 Moderator United States 14463 Posts	Posted 07/02/2012 9:23 pm is the obverse as damaged or is does it still look good? if that's true, my first guess would be the coin may have been enclosed in a holder like this cent Report this Post to the Staff
CAR33 New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 07/02/2012 9:27 pm Yes, the obverse looks fine. That could be what happened. Report this Post to the Staff
Fuzzy317 Moderator United States 14463 Posts	Posted 07/02/2012 10:00 pm the spot for the coin in the enclosed holder probably wasn't as thick as an actual coin, so they may have ground down the reverse edge to make it fit Report this Post to the Staff

coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 07/03/2012 08:16 am The quarter subject in this thread is the result of a grinding wheel and someone with time on their hands. It has nothing to do with mint errors, and it is not the center of an encasement. It is simple damage. Report this Post to the Staff
