Got this in change. Blemishes near center and on left. Looks like something foreign got in during minting. What do you think? Marlies *** Edited by Staff to Add Year to Title. It's very important to have in the title. *** |

From these pics, I can't tell if it is something foreign on the surface like dried glue or incuse, such as could happen when a coin is struck with a bit of grease n the die.

The blemishes are all indentations so I guess that rules out glue or things of that nature.

Please no photos of scope screens...thanks. Need better pics but my first thought was struck through oil. John1  |

Why not scope screens? Only way to show it's an indentation-not above surface issue.
Can't understand what you guys are looking for? The combo of the pics and scope stuff should give you everything you need to know.

Might be a defect or damage of the top layer of the planchet before it was struck. If so, it's interesting but not a valuable mint error IMO. I could be wrong.

Well I am keeping it for now since it is interesting at the least! Might be able to find a similar setup from someone else in the future that will let this have a name per se. For now I agree with the grease/oil theory since there is a blob blemish near the bottom that I just noticed as well. I would guess it was during the annealing process that this happened.

Well this is interesting. Someone else had a almost exact issue, but here I can't even tell if it's just a pool or indented: http://goccf.com/t/321857In my case I don't see it being a greased filled die issue since there's no washed out look, My quarter has "craters" which makes it look like during the annealing process something foreign got in there and rolled as the coin was moved around during the annealing process. Then the coin was stamped with the details on top of it since a majority of the stamped details is still pretty much intact which supports livingwater's theory. Edited by EML Coin Collector

But how? I have tons of those kinds of coins and they are all smooth with faded out areas. My quarter doesn't seem to meet even that criteria.
