SwmpOwl011 New Member United States 26 Posts	Posted 07/13/2020 05:20 am Can someone help me clarify if this quarter is an improperly annealed mint error? Also, I think this 1972 penny probably exhibits post mint damage instead of being a mint error but some verification would be nice. Thanks!! Report this Post to the Staff

merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 07/13/2020 9:30 pm Since we have two coins in one thread, what do they have in common? Reasons vary, but both are PMD. Report this Post to the Staff

Big-Kingdom Pillar of the Community United States 1667 Posts	Posted 07/14/2020 1:28 pm Spot on about the cent, cello sealing damage. About the quarter, the edge indicates it was copper or bronze plated. it's the center one of the five edge coins pictures. no idea why someone would do it, except to show off their plating abilities before someone forks over their baby shoes Report this Post to the Staff
