Abrne11b New Member United States 29 Posts	Posted 01/22/2023 4:09 pm Good Afternoon CC. I was working on a Bicentennial collection and found this in a bank roll awhile back. There are multiple errors on the coin, I just don't know if it's PMD. The Quarter is in really good condition. I've done research on how or where this damage could've happened. There is an irregular clip which I'll show in the picture. Any help is appreciated. Thank you. Report this Post to the Staff

silviosi Pillar of the Community Canada 6244 Posts	Posted 01/22/2023 4:18 pm When you see the coin from the side you will see the rounded deformation. This it is impossible to happened in the strike chamber. Then the rounded hole it is really flat, if was from roll must has the crystalline form of the alloy. Report this Post to the Staff

Abrne11b New Member United States 29 Posts	Posted 01/22/2023 4:48 pm I rechecked and tripled check. That hole is deceiving. It's not a hole. There's a chip where the reeds should. I'm trying to get a better picture. picture Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 96123 Posts	Posted 01/23/2023 4:54 pm to pile on here - This is a damaged coin, it took a sideways hit indenting the edge of the coin. That is why it is thicker where the dent is. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.
