@critter, first welcome to CCF. Second, sorry to tell you, but that flattening and extreme wear on George and the rev rim is damage not a mint error.

Coin appears to have been abraded--with a vengeance. Not a mint error.

if the diameter greater than usual the flattening could have been created by hammering

to CCF. That is one really long sentence you wrote there. But the quarter you posted is very very worn out. It looks like the device was worn down on purpose. Not touching the rim lettering at all on the obverse. The reverse is just opposite. Strange. |

. Not an error. PMD of some sort. Maybe a stage of a Dryer Coin? John1  |

I'm sorry I'm not sure how to delete a reply but what I meant to mention was I just ran into some pictures which this is oddly similar to a die adjustment strike error any thoughts on that

Does your keyboard not have any punctuation on it? It is not a Die Adjustment Strike, it is as mentioned by numerous others, PMD. No value above 25 cents. |

Value 25 cents if a vending machine will still take it. it was damaged by someone after minting. if it wasn't it would have reeding on the edge. all of that is Post mint damage.

I have seen coins like this before. Where people try to flatten them but do not have a handy train nearby. They use a vice or other means to try and recreate the "flattening"

I do t understand how someone or how to put it or what one would use to put only on Washingtons face in order to flatten it but at the same or possibly different time place what I'm guessing could only be a socket type thing in order to only flatten the outsuide edge on the opposite side while maintaining the same diameter and not turning it into a ripple chip also no Lines on the outside rim of coin can anyone explain this more maybe post similar pictures "Also, What is a punctuation?" <loxzz

Intentional defacing of a U.S. coin. Damage is damage however exactly made. Value is 25 cents until defaced completely. |
