Thos New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 06/21/2007 7:04 pm Hi all. I joined this forum just because of this particular quarter, and I have no idea what's going on with it. At first I just wanted to see if it would be worth something more than a few french fries, and now I'm also interested in what could have caused it. Both sides of the quarter have a deep pit (the back side shows multiple smaller pits as well). On the opposite sides of the quarter (beneath those pits), the material seems to bulge outward. I don't know anything about coin errors, but I also haven't seen any pictures of anything similar. Here are pics of the front and back. Any ideas? Thanks.

Thos New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 06/21/2007 8:32 pm Thanks for the warm welcome, and thanks for responding. I was sure hoping that that coin would be something cool and valuable (only because I'd never seen or noticed anything like that before), but I guess I can settle with spending it on those french fries. I'll be sure to send in more pics/scans if anything else cool comes my way. Report this Post to the Staff
