Hi, new member here and I'm not going to lie, I joined because of this quarter, I am not a coin collector and know little to nothing about coins but as a budding metal detector enthusiast, I should probably learn a bit. So I found this 1993 U.S. Washington head quarter a few months ago and it looks like it got chewed up in a garbage disposal, at least that's what I thought at first but a buddy of mine said that it's a minting error of sorts so I'm hoping to get some insight from the experts, hence why I am here, it appears that the edge has a large chunk out of it but if you look at the edge, the stamped lines are all still there which makes me think it was stamped that way? Any ideas? Thanks!

Certainly not a minting error. Post strike damage of an aggressive nature.

Just damage - as you can tell, your coin took a pretty good hit there and even pushed the metal back onto it's surface.

Yeah I figured it wasn't anything special, appreciate the timely replies and insight! Now my buddy that told me it was an error has a quarter he thinks is an error as well but it looks much different than mine, if possible I would like to get a definitive answer for him, If he would ever send me pictures of it, also, is the 1969 Lincoln Cent "No FG" legitimate or not because I've heard very different conflicting explanations about it, also the "Floating roof"

@mangled, first welcome to CCF. Second, when your buddy sends you the pics of this other coin, please start a fresh thread. We will be happy to talk about over-polished and grease-filled dies.
