Another anomaly is the eagles right leg? It looks like it's missing AND it looks like there is detail behind the missing leg? I really want this to be a mint error cause that would be my first find but if it's just PMD please give your thoughts as to what could have done this! Could the circular marking be a sort of Brinell hardness testing on the planchet? There is a name for that isn't there? Rock-something... What do you all think? Also, a disclaimer, these are my first coin photos and posting of images. The quarter is not gold colored it is the color of a regular quarter like in the other two photos. Thanks in advance all!
