NYCpropertyguy New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 02/21/2023 12:34 am Hi there. I'm pretty new to collecting and examining coins. But, I have had this 2005 P Oregon W. Quarter for a while and have been looking to see if there were any other similar ones posted anywhere, to no avail. It looks like there might have been something else on the planchet or, possibly was struck with another coin or .? I'm hoping someone here could lend their expertise, but definitely doesn't seem post mint damage. ? Report this Post to the Staff

NYCpropertyguy New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 02/21/2023 04:18 am Thanks guys! Gees, I wouldn't have thought heat damage because there's no discoloration or warping and with as much deformity as it has (localized in that one area), I would have thought there would be some discoloring or tarnish. But, I know literally nothing when it comes to this.. so, thanks!! Report this Post to the Staff

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19202 Posts	Posted 02/21/2023 08:40 am Yes, heat damage--agree with all above. I'm thinking the heat applied was of high intensity and of relatively short duration--rather than lying in a BBQ pit over the course of a couple summers where many, many of fires were cycled through.
