Thought it was a scratch at first but it's a raised section that intersects a dentils, stops, then continues out the other side to the next denticle. I was excited at first but then found the same "error" on 22 coins in a different spot when going through a roll of 1973 quarters. What would cause this mark during the minting process? Is there a specific term for this and is this a common occurrence. Also, are there people that collect these sorts of coins? Sorry for the bad quality photo, used a cheap Walmart camera:) Thanks all:) Report this Post to the Staff
