Adam C Vance Valued Member United States 82 Posts	Posted 03/29/2021 12:30 pm My dad stopped by with his change and I found this damaged coin it looks like acid damage and lines on the obverse and the reverse has these lines going in every witch way the eagles left wing at the tip is being pulled to the left I'm not sure if this is post ment damage or it took a dip in acid then scrubbed with wire brush then restamped or if its just circulation damage I'm not sure at all... What fo y'all thank here is my dad's quarter Report this Post to the Staff

Diy89Nurm7 Valued Member United States 271 Posts	Posted 03/29/2021 1:48 pm Agree with PMD. Odd that someone would go through all that trouble to ruin a perfectly good coin. Might the coin have found its way inside a machine capable of scouring it harshly and repetitively (ED)? Stay well, Diy89Nurm7 Report this Post to the Staff
