MariosCoins New Member United States 10 Posts	Posted 05/05/2023 1:26 pm So I just made this account, saw a very similar post from 4/20/23 regarding this quarter with a perfectly straight line. How could this not be an error if I have the same thing? Report this Post to the Staff

Tacc Pillar of the Community United States 3535 Posts	Posted 05/05/2023 1:38 pm The coin you originally posted is a scratch/gouge. perfectly straight accross the entire coin and edge. Maybe a Samurai Sword, who knows. Not caused during minting process, obviously just damage. Report this Post to the Staff
Tacc Pillar of the Community United States 3535 Posts	Posted 05/05/2023 1:42 pm Similar scratch/gouge yes. But doesn't even occur in the same place or the same direction as the other coin you refer to. Just damage on both. Report this Post to the Staff
MariosCoins New Member United States 10 Posts	Posted 05/05/2023 1:43 pm The line on my quarter is convex, no scratch or gouge, its sticking out. Report this Post to the Staff
MariosCoins New Member United States 10 Posts	Posted 05/05/2023 1:48 pm Maybe, maybe not. Not sure how the quarter ended up looking so good if it was so damaged, and why would people be chopping quarters with a samauri sword lol Report this Post to the Staff
nick10 Pillar of the Community United States 3207 Posts	Posted 05/05/2023 2:03 pm generally, anything that can be replicated at will is considered damage Report this Post to the Staff

HondoB Bedrock of the Community United States 25152 Posts	Posted 05/05/2023 2:14 pm Mario, the "line" crosses the rim of the coin, which could only happen if it occurred after the coin was minted. As such, this is post-mint damage. Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34402 Posts	Posted 05/05/2023 2:37 pm Quote: why would there be others exacly like it? Except that it isn't exactly the same—the scratches run in different directions across the reverse of these two quarters. They may have been been damaged in a similar way, but neither is a mint error. As @coop and others explained upthread, the scratching of the coin can displace metal up so that some or all of the sides of the grove are raised above the surface of the coin. @mar, you'll notice that I've moved over the part of that other thread—best practice is to start a new thread for each new coin. Folks can reference the earlier thread here: http://goccf.com/t/420741 Also, CCF folk, please ignore the somewhat asynchronous nature of some of the responses in this thread. I'm doing the best I can, but had to cut some bits out of one thread and then paste them here so everything is a bit jumbled. That isn't on the OP, but rather on me.

Dearborn Moderator United States 95740 Posts	Posted 05/05/2023 6:23 pm First off, can you take an image of both coins in one image side-by-side for ease of comparison? I have to keep scrolling back an forth to get a good comparison of both. Second, I have to agree with Spence on all factors he mentioned except that 'Coop' did not reply yet - it was Tacc using Coop's image.. and Third, it appear that you posted up the same image twice.

Cujohn Pillar of the Community United States 7174 Posts	Posted 05/05/2023 6:48 pm I'm seeing 2 pictures that are the same. Exactly the same spots, glare, position in the holder. What am I missing? Ok I just clicked on Spences post I understand now. The only thing it can be is PMD. Edited by Cujohn 05/05/2023 6:55 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34402 Posts	Posted 05/05/2023 7:11 pm To save folks from having to go to two-screen mode, here is a view of the quarters from both threads, side by side: "If you climb a good tree, you get a push." -----Ghanaian proverb "The danger we all now face is distinguishing between what is authentic and what is performed." -----King Adz Report this Post to the Staff
