I know that while rare it is possible for a coin to get bent during the minting process. This one looks like it also might have been clipped for a possible bowtie that failed. Anyway here are the pictures I am anxious to hear your opinions. Thanks, Janet Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34447 Posts	Posted 06/13/2022 5:02 pm I agree not a mint error but rather damage. Since the blanks are cut prior to the coin being stamped, any residual marks from the blanking process should be virtually obscured. These marks are more recent.

Dearborn Moderator United States 98403 Posts	Posted 06/13/2022 6:17 pm someone went to a lot of trouble to damage this one, First they put it in a vise with another quarter and pressed the rim into this one. Second: they bent it all out of whack. and third they sanded the rim down is some areas to remove the reeded edge. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget.
