Hello everyone, I'm straight shooter and appreciate all the help in identifying my coins I summit. I have severe arthritis in my hands and doing the best I can in taking pictures. Here is my favorite coin because of how it looks. My guess is it has catastrophic die damage!

Not Die damage but coin damage. PMD
In the future, please rotate your photos and increase the size.
Also show a complete photo of both sides, this helps us in assessing the problem.

Blow ups of low(er) resolution images usually don't improve the ability to see what may be happening on the coin. Appears to be circulation damage and exposure to less-than-friendly environmental agents.

Thank you for your help, I'm working on getting a better image process. The quarter appears to be being exposed to extreme heat. You can see molting divots on it. Also has cracks and crevices on it. The heat source actually moved the impressions on it to deformity.

I don't see the heat damage you mentioned, but perhaps clearer photos will show us. Such damage would mostly likely be deliberate, certainly post mint ( PMD). Looking forward to seeing sharper photos if possible!
