Andipaints New Member United States 6 Posts	Posted 12/11/2021 03:02 am I'm new, please don't tell me I'm obviously new. I decided to look for errors bc I was wasting way too much time looking at dates etc. I do estate buyouts and have a considerable advantage over pocket change because I often find containers full of coins that have been in said containers for up to 20+ years. My origin story is about the 44 steel Wheat penny but that's not what I found and understand it's an unlikely quest! Anyway, this reveals my inadequacy in coin evaluation I'm sure. I was looking through yet another container and found a 1940 quarter with a B stamped on it. Pretty sure it's PMD, but I have to ask you pros so that I can send it on its circulatory path. Please advise. * Edited by Staff to Add Year / Mintmark / Denomination to Title. Titles are Important! * Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 94892 Posts	Posted 12/11/2021 05:33 am Well, just finding a box of silver coins is exciting of itself. But yes intentional damage or PMD. There is a topic of counter stamp coins: http://goccf.com/t/303507 Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 12/11/2021 12:54 pm Definitely post mint damage. Absolutely nothing from the mint could have caused this. As mentioned this is called a counter stamp, done after it left the mint. to the CCF! Report this Post to the Staff
