Correct me if I'm wrong but please any and all expert opinions are welcome. If any more photos are needed of more detail or specific areas please don't hesitate to ask. Report this Post to the Staff

I've got to say it's pretty exciting I've never seen anything remotely similar first hand before!! Report this Post to the Staff

SilverDollar2017 Pillar of the Community United States 8715 Posts	Posted 04/08/2018 11:22 am It's PMD (Post Mint Damage). You can tell that because of the shape and size of the mark. Spend it. Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34406 Posts	Posted 04/08/2018 2:37 pm @lm4life, yes I can see how this quarter looks very different, but I agree with the others that the simplest (and most likely correct) explanation for these marks is that they occurred after the coin left the mint. The fact that this damage is roughly the same size as a quarter would be a coincidence. Keep on looking though--I look forward to seeing what else you find that looks interesting!

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/08/2018 4:28 pm When the edge is out of round it is PSD. If there are incuse marks on the coin, it is 99% of the time damaged in circulation. If have an automobile accident and the car is damaged, if that factory damage? Same with coins. They get damaged in circulation and altered just because they want to create an error coin by faking it by damage. Report this Post to the Staff
