I'm sorry, but this quarter is heavily damaged. Extreme PMD. It's a spender. Also, what you're seeing is Pareidolia. I am not seeing anything. Errers and Varietys.

Agree with EV. But as a spender, I don't know if the bank will take this one back, L. This one is in bad shape.

If you zoom in on the pictures it's much clearer on my phone. This has to be damaged at the mint because of the double printing that's on there plus it's the same exact weight 5.7 as the other quarters it's here and the diameter and thickness is the same if. It's Unique thanks for your input

@thum, it definitely is unique—I agree with that 100%. However, I believe that it is different from newly minted quarters in that it has been heavily damaged. With the amount of metal movement from this damage, it isn't surprising that areas might look vaguely like other things. That is just the nature of Pareidolia. Of course save this quarter if you want. The cost of ownership is low. "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

Lol not like seeing things. I appreciate your thoughts. Just amuze me please, if this coin had obvious dd that you could see, would this still be trash? Eliminating the scratches this could have been damaged at the mint since Dia, thickness and weight are the same ?

That is a very Mangled quarter - I doubt you could even get it into a pop machine without it jamming up the works.

At the risk of piling on... Yes, post-strike damage of a blunt force nature. Coin didn't leave the striking chamber in that condition.

I know you want this to be some sort of minting error but it is not. Collectively all of us would gladly tell you if it was.

If you like weird looking coins then this is good one to keep. You can collect all sorts of coins like this and have a very cool collection so I am all for that. As your collection grows you will see different things on your coins like faces, animals, numbers, letters, ect... all in the wrong places and should not be there. Call your coins as they are, just beautiful damaged coins, nothing more than that. Good luck and have fun with your new venture.

All u can tell you us that the dua and thickness is correct and smorh as a baby bottom. A buddy of mine is a machinist and since coins are pressed there could have been a catastrophic issue in comparison the die could have slipped starting compression. Thank you for your time

@Thump no. None of that could have happened. It is 100% impossible for a coin to come out of the striking chamber looking like this.
