CoinFortunes New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 01/28/2020 3:58 pm I have a 1974 quarter, 1942 dime, and several pennies of that share the same octagonal type pattern. On certain areas of each coin are 135° degree angles that are coalescent with the angles on a 1080° octogon. I'm stumped. Please, any info into the origins of this type error will be very much appreciated. Apologize for any duplicate images Thanks Edited by CoinFortunes 01/28/2020 6:01 pm Report this Post to the Staff

It's been damaged after it left the U.S. Mint. PSD. Normal circulation wear and tear. The edges got banged up and pushed in. So it's not an error coin and has no extra value. Errers and Varietys.
