onikuyama New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 01/14/2024 08:03 am I was looking through some coins and came across this one (2016 P Washington quarter - Shawnee - America the Beautiful Series) that has a scar that appears to be under the Illinois text. Like it was damaged and the pressing of the text happened on top of it? Have not seen anything like it before and was wondering if anyone else has. Thoughts on it being anything significant? Updated - included the coin in question. Edited by onikuyama 01/14/2024 11:36 am Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 96071 Posts	Posted 01/14/2024 09:34 am The word Illinois is incuse on this coin. What you see is on top of it. This is just a circulation hit Collecting since 1972.
