Cinnabear1 New Member United States 1 Posts	Posted 05/25/2021 10:55 pm Hi I'm Cindy but I'm not to reveal my name so I'm cinnabear1 here. First time ever at any of these kind of sites so be nice... Please... :) I have a coin I've shown to two friends that are knowledgeable about coins . at first one friend thought it was feeder finger die scrape ...and another friend said it was a die crack. Either way at first glance it looks like a gouge in Washington's face and top of his skull. Upon closer inspection using a 10x loupe a very unique thing is seen it appears there's a dagger going through Washington's face starting at the bridge of the nose and at the top of the skull where the T in Liberty is there's another dagger going into the skull. Looking at the entire coin you can see both daggers very very .. The appearance is of an x-ray displaying the daggers in the skull Edited by Cinnabear1 05/25/2021 11:23 pm Report this Post to the Staff

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 05/26/2021 04:16 am . It is PMD not an error or variety.One photo of the reverse might be helpful,But I am pretty sure it would still be PMD. John1 Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/26/2021 09:11 am I it is pushing out on the reverse, then it was not a mint error, but a coin that was attacked in garage. (bad things happen there) And after they coin murderer is done, he spends it and you found it. Report this Post to the Staff
JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21645 Posts	Posted 05/26/2021 09:23 am To the CCF As already stated, it is definitely damage ( PMD) It is only an error if it happens during the striking of the coin and I see nothing on your quarter that could happen at that time.

SamCoin Pillar of the Community United States 3237 Posts	Posted 05/26/2021 09:33 am Not sure what you mean about a coin very similar to this one being a mint error, but either it wasn't as similar as it appeared or the people who said it was a mint error were wrong. This coin is beyond a shadow of a doubt post mint damage. Report this Post to the Staff
Cinnabear1 New Member United States 1 Posts	Posted 05/26/2021 09:51 am I would agree I would agree with you all except for this: How does close to the same PMD appear on two separate coins in separate parts of the country, at separate time periods, by two different individuals? Isn't that usually indicative of PMD? I'm not arguing your point. My brain just can't process how this is possible: https://www.cointalk.com/threads/19...alue.203779/ Report this Post to the Staff
Keith67 Pillar of the Community United States 6617 Posts	Posted 05/26/2021 10:29 am Both of these coin are damaged. IMHO Report this Post to the Staff
Numisma Pillar of the Community United States 4963 Posts	Posted 05/26/2021 10:45 am Those two coins really have no similarities beyond being badly beaten quarters from the eighties. There are millions just like them. Report this Post to the Staff

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19227 Posts	Posted 05/26/2021 11:19 am Agree, the pair of coins pictured are not the same. Feature structure is not identical--not even close. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/26/2021 12:25 pm Still waiting for reverse images. The coin does look cent, which indicates damage. Report this Post to the Staff
