Houler Valued Member United States 107 Posts	Posted 02/10/2022 08:51 am Hello again, I found weird fused lettering on a 1991-P Quarter recently, which is why I took a picture of it. I did a google search and someone mentioned normal wear when the "I" and the "N" or "In" were fused together, but this specific occurrence doesn't look like normal wear, the rest of the quarter looks fine, just these letters in that specific spot stands out. What could cause an error such as this, if it actually is an error, what would the error be called? Report this Post to the Staff
