2022 D Washington Quarter- Maya Angelou - Error Or Something Else?

Not offend we can see those post annealing coins.
@RW: you give the name annealing lines. Could be legitim this denomination. Yours coins are not all legitim "annealing coins lines"

@MrBreeze: Yes your coin show the line of the exit from the annealing chamber. What it is the reason for those lines? If the blank do not cool down, and the internal temperature of the blank is to high, the alloy is to soft and will take the lines of the first roll which push them strait in line. The color and symptoms of failing annealing are not annealing error is just due to the contact with very cold metallic roll after the chamber.

My opinion: Will be attribute? No idea. It is an line production error due to the lack of the employees duties. BUT please all make attention because many are fake and reproduction of this lack of the production. WR here show also the fake ones. Are fun.

No RW, some are legitims and others no. To explain more: How this could happens. Example: If an shift normally must produce 50K coins, and the Admin say we need 70K, then the steps are on the road. Are mean they must cut some operations or cut the timing. On the Mint production you has only three points where you can be more fast:
1. Cooling annealing
2. Cleaning
3. Blank polishing.

the rest of the line could do much more.

All the coins look overheated and have annealing lines. Thanks for posting yours MrBreeze. Like you say Silviosi we must adjust to the new production
