Thought I had an idea about this one, but the closest comparisons I found on ebay were citing a different error-- and so now I am totally confused. Could you seasoned pros help me out and give me your opinions? I sure appreciate it, thanks in advance. I photographed it along side a normal quarter just as a reference. Also I can tell you I am almost certain she's a smidgen thin, and the copper ridge stripe is on the wrong side.

I'm not an expert but since you said pretty please I'll put in my Two Cents and say it is a struck through die error. Pretty cool coin! |

Thanks, I was so excited to find it!! Been digging through coins over a year now and this is my first exciting find!
Do you think it could be a die adjustment error? Anything comparable I've found so far are all die errors, but many see adjustment errors which I didn't even learn about until today as I've never focused on learning the obvious things that would be easily noticeable-- so I don't know what I'm doing :-P

It's a damaged coin IMHO. Rim is missing on both sides. Not sure how it got this way but I'm pretty certain it did not leave the mint looking this way

What does the edge look like? The coin looks smaller then normal to me. Right now I think it is acid damage but need more info,weight,size and edge pic. John1  Edited by John1

I agree with PMD. I suspect the coin was heavily buffed. |

It just doesn't look like acid damage to me. One thing I see is the letters E and R at the top of the obverse are thicker than they should be. Acid damage wouldn't do that.

PMD... May have been a pocket piece.

 With the small indents on the coin, the deeper devices formed, the lack of higher devices missing, the thinner height and the light surface scratches, I'm thinking this is PSD as well.  With the rims missing is another heads up. On a low pressure strike the rims would still show:  With a weak strike more details should be present.  Note rims show here as well. Yours is PSD.

Coop, but what would a coin with a stronger strike than the Ike dollar, but weaker than the 2001 Kennedy look like? Also remembering that the 2001 Kennedy has lower relief than this quarter does. |

Not sure if it helps, but I do have examples of grease/oil strike through and a thin planchet 1974 strike thru   1970 D thin planchet (dime stock)   |

As others have said, the subject of this thread was mercilessly attacked with a buffing wheel.
