Mzeek17 Valued Member United States 90 Posts	Posted 08/02/2021 03:45 am Is this a planchet issue, damage or what? It looks like it was either folded or melted. But I can see the dates and writing fine through the "fold". Amy ideas what causes this? I have one of the 1970 ones that was made from dime material, but that's thinner and easier to recognize, what's up with this one though lol Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34397 Posts	Posted 08/02/2021 06:59 am @mze, this quarter was damaged after it left the mint. The folded over metal may have come from this coin being trapped in rotating machinery, such as a dryer, but in any case it isn't a mint error.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 08/02/2021 10:19 am If it is a Dryer Coin, the reeds will be missing from the edge and the diameter will be smaller than a normal quarter. The weight will also be normal. It is just a damaged coin if this description fits your coin. No premium for this. Report this Post to the Staff
Mzeek17 Valued Member United States 90 Posts	Posted 08/02/2021 11:43 am Wow, I never would have imagined a dryer would melt a quarter.. is that only certain years or all coins Report this Post to the Staff
oriole Pillar of the Community Canada 5239 Posts	Posted 08/02/2021 12:29 pm The dryer does not melt the coin. The coin got caught in some machinery. There are a lot of threads on this subject. Report this Post to the Staff
merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 08/02/2021 2:14 pm Post mint damage ( PMD). I'd like to see the one you have you say is made of "dime material"! Report this Post to the Staff
Mzeek17 Valued Member United States 90 Posts	Posted 08/03/2021 12:54 pm I'll post it when I get a chance, from what I understand it was made of "dime stock" without the majority of the quarter clad... Report this Post to the Staff
