Hi everyone, I am a new member with VERY little knowledge of coins. I came across this site when I was researching a Wheat penny from my Grandpa. Turned out to be an ordinary penny with sentimental value. After looking through this site, I decided to join. So for entertainment purposes, I looked through the change in my car as my beginning, and this Sally Ride quarter stood out. Looks to be the kind of first quarter I would get!  |

Welcome to the forum. Congrats on your tirst submission here.
It's hard to tell what's happening with the quarter.
Are those raised marks on her face or are they recessed?

Looks like standard roadkill damage to me, only unusual in managing to avoid getting any major dints in the fields. It must have been a fairly smooth surface the coin was sitting on.

@ran, I'm glad to have you join us. As to this quarter, that is all damage and therefore you can safely spend this one.

Damaged coin.

In fact, I think I will frame her, like a new business frames their first $1 sale LOL!!! I am looking forward to my future "serious" submissions.
