cogirl321 New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 11/13/2020 4:27 pm Hello, I am new to the coin community and do not have any past knowledge on coins or errors. I started to become interested after finding this quarter one day. It is an Ohio 2002 US quarter and from searching on my own I believe it could be a broadstrike reverse error? The rim of the coin on the tails (reverse) side is flattened and smooth. I am unsure on the errors or coin language so I wanted to ask this community. Can anyone inform me on this quarter or the possible reason for the error? It has intrigued me and I am wanting to research/learn more and search for others! (I apologize if the image is not great). Thanks for any help! Report this Post to the Staff
