Aloha everyone, I hope I'm posting this correctly. Please let me know if I am doing this incorrectly. I began collecting coins (mostly from loose change) as a hobby for me and my (autistic) son to do together. I love seeing how excited he gets when we are about to go through coins together. Recently we came across a 2021 quarter with an S near Washingtons mouth and wanted to know if anyone else has come across it as well. I attach a few photos and would appreciate any information or thoughts on the coin. Mahalo Nui Loa
Not an "S", just damage that may look like an S. There is no way for an extra letter to suddenly appear during the minting process unless it is a dropped letter which yours is not.
Hang loose. Here are overlays to show what a clash area that would affected like. (Here is one of the designs if there are more an one: Clash mark. Here is a different die overlay if it is a different reverse?
