The Detectorist New Member United States 46 Posts	Posted 10/15/2021 7:36 pm Can someone tell me if this quarter came from the mint this way or if it was damaged post mint? It might be hard to tell by the pictures but it has a very dull finish to it. Thanks in advance for any help on this... Report this Post to the Staff

merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 10/15/2021 10:52 pm I agree too. Environmental conditions help to destroy this coin. Might have been a metal detector find at some point. Yes, post mint damage. Report this Post to the Staff
