decadeofchange Valued Member United States 66 Posts	Posted 08/18/2018 5:27 pm This 1986 D Washington quarter was in pocket change. On the Reverse, there appears to be either some kind of die error or damage. I first notice this coin on the Obverse right-side rim, where the rim appears damaged or awkwardly shaped. Any insights on this coin are appreciated. Report this Post to the Staff

Can you please post a pic of the edge reeding in this area (three o'clock on the obv)?

decadeofchange Valued Member United States 66 Posts	Posted 08/18/2018 8:07 pm Hi Spence. Side view isn't great. I noticed the obverse has a slight bulge (barely noticeable) where the Reverse side gauge is (see area outlined in red). Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34427 Posts	Posted 08/18/2018 8:31 pm Good point @E&V, but I'm wondering more about the rim in that same region. Any thoughts? Is it MAD or PMD or something else?
