I found this 1979 quarter today and I looked at It under a magnifying glass and I saw something that I wanna share with you all.It has the number 56 just above quarter dollar meet in the empty space. Give me your feedback. Thank you.

I don't see a 56 or anything else. I'm seeing a normal Quarter

Looks like circulation damage to me. You might want to practice your pic taking skills a bit,the better the pics you post the better we can help.

@hdf, your last pic was pretty good. When I crop and enhance it, though, I am in agreement with @jasper62 and @john1 that there is circulation damage that is roughly in the shape of those numbers. This one is a spender.

with the above. Just damage.

There is no way during the striking of a coin that a 56 could all of a
sudden appear unless it was on the die itself in which case it would
be on every coin that die struck.

Note the area you are looking at is below the fields. If it were a doubled device, then it would be raised above the fields if it were on the die.
