JoeVegas444 Valued Member United States 113 Posts	Posted 08/22/2020 01:06 am I did my best trying to get a good picture. This appears to be a strike thru grease. The fields are distorted. The P mintmark is barely visible. Washington's hair is blurred as are some of his features. Some of the lettering is also diminished/distorted. Is there enough distortion here the coin has a premium? Or not enough. Thank you. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 08/23/2020 3:34 pm On the quarter, it looks like the die was over polished reducing the size of those devices. Then the fields are starting to show flow lines since that previous polishing. OR. The coin was attacked with a razor blade. The differences? The cuts would be incuse, the flow lines will be raised. On would be a die issue, the other a damaged coin issue. Just can't see well enough to say which at this time. Edited by coop 08/23/2020 3:34 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Willburton Pillar of the Community United States 2558 Posts	Posted 08/23/2020 10:18 pm I would say you need better pictures at a different angle to tell. It looks odd to me. That doesn't look like the A was damaged but there is a line through it. Possibly some damage and VLDS Report this Post to the Staff
