CaptJeffWorthFL Valued Member United States 247 Posts	Posted 05/11/2023 9:42 pm I came across this in a coin jar I acquired from a yard sale. All the coins were quarters and none of them newer than 2001 None older than 1999 all Denver Mint all Statehood Quarters. It was a weird find at a yard sale, it was from their son who passed away in 2002 from a car accident and they are finally letting go since they are selling the house. It wasn't out for display. I always ask if there are any coins or jewelry for sale. They said they had a jar of quarters but doubted if it had anything special in it. Like silver. I did a count and gave them a few bucks over face value 137.50 (140.00) This quarter was the only thing that stood out and just need your input if this is (possibly an error) or PMD. Look at the gouge and look at the rim. Also the condition overall of the coin. Thanks in advance! Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 94728 Posts	Posted 05/11/2023 10:04 pm Is that crescent on the field of the coin raised or incuse? It sure appears to be raised to my eye. It also appears to be the same size and shape of the missing chunk from the rim. Each time I blink, it is either raised and incuse after each blink.. lol (The lighting is directly overhead and not throwing any shadows.) Collecting since 1972.

Dearborn Moderator United States 94728 Posts	Posted 05/11/2023 10:09 pm If it is incuse, I think it is possible that the missing section of the rim was sliced off and it landed on the planchet and then struck through. My main problem is that the reverse is usually the anvil (non-moving ) die. So how would the piece get under the planchet? I know that there are a few here that have seen this before and can explain it much better than me. I think I found what it is called: A "Rim burr strike through" Collecting since 1972.

SamCoin Pillar of the Community United States 3237 Posts	Posted 05/11/2023 10:40 pm @Silviosi Definitely not PMD, this is a fantastic example of a struck through rim burr. The crescent piece fell off the rim and got imprinted into the surface of the coin during the strike. This is one of the largest and nicest I've seen, and it's even nicer since it was struck through its own rim burr and you can see the missing section.

Dearborn Moderator United States 94728 Posts	Posted 05/11/2023 10:49 pm I think that the rim burr was shaved off from the side and below (obverse side) up towards the reverse side - you can see where a tiny bit of the cladding was torn off before it was possibly deposited on the anvil die just before the strike. Well, that's my theory anyway.. (I think dearborn was on the right track also) Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

CaptJeffWorthFL Valued Member United States 247 Posts	Posted 05/12/2023 12:34 am Dearborn, sorry man. I meant to mention that the crescent is incuse. I walked away from my desk to get some water and forgot that when typing in the description. Now my next question is, is this worth getting graded? If so PCGS or NGC (which is a few hours from my house) and I have a membership with them. I have found more so than not that NGC coins don't fetch as much of a premium as PCGS. I also understand it depends on the what coin it is or type of error. Thanks and glad I grabbed that jar! Report this Post to the Staff
SamCoin Pillar of the Community United States 3237 Posts	Posted 05/12/2023 12:47 am Probably not worth grading. The general rule of thumb is that an error or variety needs to be worth about $150 to be worth the cost of grading. This is definitely worth some money, but not that much. I would just throw it in a 2x2. Edited by SamCoin 05/12/2023 12:48 am Report this Post to the Staff
CaptJeffWorthFL Valued Member United States 247 Posts	Posted 05/12/2023 12:58 am SamCoin, thanks for the input. I may still get it slabbed by NGC since most of what I keep is NGC slabbed for my personal collection I plan on passing down to my son down the road. I learned something new again too! I may have tossed another one back a year ago just assuming PMD. It was pretty chewed up too. Report this Post to the Staff
Yokozuna Pillar of the Community United States 4618 Posts	Posted 05/12/2023 01:52 am I love it!! Here's a Washington quarter with a rim burr that was still attached that I posted a few years ago. https://goccf.com/t/357625 ANA ID: 3203813 - CONECA ID: N-5637 Clean a coin that may be worth collecting? Please DON'T! When in doubt, leave it dirty!! Report this Post to the Staff
