Newherehavingfun Valued Member United States 190 Posts	Posted 10/06/2022 9:18 pm I got this 1976 quarter in change tonight and I need help understanding what I am seeing. I am sorry about the picture quality, it's the best I can do. Reducing them makes my bad pics even worse. There is a circular crack like issue on the throat and also along the obverse right side of the coin seems to be missing some plating? Or it was just badly damaged. Thanks in advance!!
