OldSkoolMadSkilz Pillar of the Community United States 2077 Posts	Posted 02/02/2015 10:25 pm I was going through some uncirculated State Quarters and came across one that was missing the reeding about 1/4 the way around. Most of the way, it's normal, but gradually fades to nothing and then back again. Coin looks well struck otherwise and is normal weight. Sorry, don't have a pic at the moment. Is this common? Should I save it? Report this Post to the Staff

OldSkoolMadSkilz Pillar of the Community United States 2077 Posts	Posted 02/06/2015 1:49 pm looks like pix are disabled for a while, but I'll post them when it's back up. Not wear as it's uncirculated. Got a closer look when I took the pix. Part has the typical partial collar look with the reeds only going part way up and then reeds fade and disappear completely for almost 1/4 the way around. Then they come back and are totally normal until they reach the partial collar part. Report this Post to the Staff

OldSkoolMadSkilz Pillar of the Community United States 2077 Posts	Posted 02/14/2015 8:19 pm Here are pix. It looks like a tilted collar. The area with the double reeding is where the rim is wider and the missing reeding is where it is thin. Sorry for the poor focus on the edge views. It's hard to control the focus on my cell phone. It looks like George is smoking, but that's just an odd spot on the surface. Report this Post to the Staff
