Snooderpuff Valued Member United States 126 Posts	Posted 10/23/2013 2:40 pm I just had a question about this quarter. It seems to be very dull on both the obverse and reverse. I didn't know if maybe there might be something wrong with the metal or what else could have caused it. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Report this Post to the Staff

The error that would most closely resemble the look of this coin would be a struck on an improperly annealed planchet. A genuine example would be less spotty than your coin, and would have more luster. Report this Post to the Staff
