Received this 1990 Quarter in a bank roll today. It appears to be a strong error quarter. The line across Washington's head is actually a crack that has caused a very light bend in the coin and the reverse side has most of the lettering blocked out. ANY comments or information will be GREATLY APPRECIATED.   |

I can't tell what it is, the pictures are too blurry. Better ones needed! :)

That is EXACTLY the way the coin appears. Those are not blurs.

Much clearer pictures of the obverse and reverse would be very helpful, but You did mention that the coin has a bend in it, and this tells me it is most likely PSD. -CH27 Collector of U.S. Coins, Varieties, and Colonial Coinage

 To me the mushy look of the lettering - front and back in the same place, reminds me of someone putting it on anvil and hitting it at a steep angle with a fairly new hammer. As to the pics being "blurry:" Yes, the pics show the lettering is physically "blurry" (mashed looking). I believe what Quarterhoarder is saying is that the picture is low resolution. when we try to zoom in on it to see the damaged area better, the the image is not made more clear.

@pappy1, first welcome to CCF. Second, when I enlarge and enhance your pictures, they do become quite pixelated (see below). Don't stress through--even with this, I think that @earle42 is correct in stating that your quarter is simply damaged, whether this mark is from the edge of a hammer or a second quarter which was partially overlapping this one when someone took a hammer to the stack really doesn't matter. You have a rim impression from the other coin on the front and flattening on the back from the impact. This coin didn't leave the mint looking like this.  "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

Probably PSD. The reverse is all weak and flattened from the damage on the obverse. Errers and Varietys.
