Miss Italy21 Valued Member United States 163 Posts	Posted 09/26/2021 5:06 pm Hi All! I've got a 1996 quarter with a shadow between the "R" and "D" of Quarter Dollar. It looks like a baguette shape with a 7 or a letter inside of the elongated square shaped stamp? I've taken several pictures to enhance, but I'm not getting the best pic as I can see through the loupe. It's a bar shaped stamp with possibly the #7 inside? Any ideas as to what I can check in researching? Thank you! Report this Post to the Staff

Miss Italy21 Valued Member United States 163 Posts	Posted 09/26/2021 7:51 pm I'm pretty sure it's an impression. Very hard to see, but there is the number 7 or it's the double print of the "R"? Try to get a better pic.., but there is a number or a partial "R"? Report this Post to the Staff
JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21633 Posts	Posted 09/26/2021 9:19 pm It is just some sort of mark from circulation. Doesn't really matter exactly what caused it as it couldn't have happened during the striking of the coin which is the only time an error can occur. Report this Post to the Staff

Miss Italy21 Valued Member United States 163 Posts	Posted 09/27/2021 04:19 am It's not Pareidolia! A couple of my other non-pareidolia friends were here and can see it also. It's not a stain. It's an impression. I'm very certain of this. Obviously, my camera is not "up to par" or should I say "Pareidolia-ixels"! Thanks, everyone! Report this Post to the Staff
