Spence Moderator United States 34396 Posts	Posted 04/03/2023 08:15 am Possibly, but I think the best explanation for the tops of the letters and the rim merging is circulation wear.

Morgans Dad Pillar of the Community United States 5604 Posts	Posted 04/03/2023 10:18 am Morning Bill, In my opinion the Exact Opposite. I believe the die struck this Washington quarter Strong, If it did not, The Devices would be Very Worn Also, they are Not as Much Worn.The wear shown is Exactly that, Circulation Wear. As stated Prior, Great Pictures, Thanks for Sharing.....Jmo..... Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 94892 Posts	Posted 04/03/2023 7:21 pm I agree that this is a very worn quarter. Quote: it has been so long since worn silver coins were commonly seen, we've forgotten what coins with honest wear look like except that this coin is a copper core, CuNi cladded coin.
