Hello. I'm new to this site. Apologies if posting incorrectly.

I found a badly damaged 1983 p quarter, but I can't tell if it's mint error or just PMD (acid, maybe?). Thank you in advance for your time and help.

Yes, I agree it looks like it got stuck in something after the Mint.

Hope to see you continue on with your coins and posts here.

To CCF! That's Post Strike Damage (it happened after it left the U.S. Mint). You can see the pushed over and flattened metal.

PMD
Short for post mint damage. Damage sustained after the coin was struck.
