CalebK937 New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 08/16/2020 9:34 pm I have this South Dakota State Quarter that has an interesting extra bit of metal on the reverse side of the coin on the wing of the bird above Mt. Rushmore. I will attach a photo of the coin in question below, along with a normal coin to show the differences. I am able to feel the metal bit when I rub my thumb over the coin, unlike the other. Any info on what this might be would be appreciated. Thanks in advance! -Caleb K. Edited by CalebK937 08/16/2020 9:42 pm Report this Post to the Staff

It was a common occurrence on the S.D.-P Quarters on the Pheasant's Wing and Neck area also in the digits of 1889, and on the Washington and Abe's profile and in their Eyes as well.
