I received this quarter as change at a store. Ive been collecting for a few years and have never seen this before. Its a 1999 quarter (date side unaffected) and queen side looks like the center of a toonie but not right thru as date side is unaffected. I will upload some pictures and hoping for any info would be appreciated.
I do believe the theory of something being glued on and then removed is definately more plausible than the acid theory.
just one thing is still a mystery to me is why there is a rim/ridge around the center part. although you cannot see it in the photo is that the center piece is slighter higher than rest of the coin. I tried to photograph that but I was unable to take a good photo. but the center piece is definately higher and like I said has a rim/ridge.
I uploaded one pic but still hard to show how the center piece is higher. In person you can see it and feel it. Once everything gets back to normal I'll go to the local coin shop to get it looked at before I spend it in the gum machine. lol
