Dearborn Moderator United States 95075 Posts	Posted 07/14/2023 12:40 pm Agreed, this is a damaged quarter, the rims have been removed somehow. Collecting since 1972.

oddguy Pillar of the Community United States 4135 Posts	Posted 07/14/2023 5:08 pm Grinder or file was used on rims, then hammer to finish it off. Poor Washington. Report this Post to the Staff
HondoB Bedrock of the Community United States 25017 Posts	Posted 07/14/2023 5:38 pm From the Numismatic Glossary - link on left side of the page. Mule Error This is a rare Mint error where the obverse die is of one coin and the reverse die is of another coin. The most famous of the Mule errors is a Sacagawea dollar/Washington quarter Mule, where a Washington quarter obverse is paired with a Sacagawea reverse.

Cujohn Pillar of the Community United States 7174 Posts	Posted 07/14/2023 5:58 pm Hondo, would that mean this is a donkey error. Report this Post to the Staff
HondoB Bedrock of the Community United States 25017 Posts	Posted 07/14/2023 7:28 pm More like a sow's ear, John. So many newbie's throw out terms such as "mule" or " Cud" without knowing what they mean. Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Report this Post to the Staff

I'm not real sure what your trying to say but this is not a mule coin in anyway, shape, or form a mule coin. I'm not even sure what the year is from all the damage.

Cujohn Pillar of the Community United States 7174 Posts	Posted 07/15/2023 3:52 pm jasper, Hondo was posting the explanation of a mule from the numismatic glossary. Hondo, when they are bombarded with get rich quick sites that call anything from a die chip to a chisel mark as a Cud, I probably would do the same if I was just starting out.
