Jamie S Edwards New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 02/19/2017 03:22 am I am a newbie coin collector, as in I have a few months' experience. I am not familiar with all the terminology but learning as I go. I got this quarter in change a few days ago, and I have a slight obsession with error coins so I check every coin that comes in the house, and I noticed that the image on the reverse side of it was on the bottom half of the obverse side and on the reverse side in the same spot as the damage on the obverse side is sort of blank. What is this? Report this Post to the Staff

It's PMD (post mint damage) and was intentionally created with two coins and a hammer. Although the backwards E PLURIBUS UNUM is raised on your quarter, it is typically incuse on the reverse of quarters. Two coins were stacked together, and a hammer hit the top coin where it set over DOLLAR. This also explains why the detail in the reverse was flattened. Report this Post to the Staff

I'm not quite sure of the terminology but, if it were a mint error it would be partial brockage? My lack of knowledge aside, this is not a mint error.
