On the obverse the you'll notice the lines along the right edge of the clip almost look like sanding which also seems to have hit the top of Washington's head The reverse looks like a very clean cut. The closeup of the edge has vertical lines from front to back of coin which seems to indicate a man made cut. Report this Post to the Staff

Your Uncle is spot on Edited by Chase007 11/06/2017 6:22 pm Report this Post to the Staff

I have a counterfeit silver quarter that has a piece taken out of it just like this one. Report this Post to the Staff
Buddy Rest in Peace United States 7075 Posts	Posted 11/09/2017 6:16 pm I've seen old coins made into tiny gears and kitchen tools so I just wondered about this one. It doesn't look damaged. It looks like it was precisely cut at that angle for a reason. Of course, it's possible that the missing piece was necessary for something or other. Report this Post to the Staff
