Punkie17 New Member United States 39 Posts	Posted 02/26/2024 7:58 pm I have a quarter that has a lot going on with it. It does not look like road rash but looks like it got stuck in the process somewhere. The back got 2 half hole punches like folded over and the front of Washingtons face looks smeared. I have more pictures and these images are zoomed in from my microscope camera almost to the end of the zoom so the thread would be very small, and I can't see how it would get stuck in the coin. I'm new to this so IDK. Its weird though for sure to see if you look at it. If you look at the smear, or by the smear, it has lines that form edges where it makes a corner or a curved portion before corner, similar to a build. I'm thinking maybe it got stamped with the back of something. There is a lot The quarter has letters in the hole punched area and I tried to mark some with arrows for reference. Also I found some blue thread or fabric stuck in the coin and is hanging out but is not visible that I can tell with the naked eye.It is so small of an area how could it get stuck like that. I am not sure how many pictures I can post cuz I took many of this coin with all that going on with it. Please let me know if it would be worthy to sell. I do have more pictures if interested.

SamCoin Pillar of the Community United States 3237 Posts	Posted 02/26/2024 10:15 pm ...lol Come on, surely you have seen damaged objects before, no? Like not even coins, just any object that is damaged? Report this Post to the Staff
Punkie17 New Member United States 39 Posts	Posted 02/26/2024 10:38 pm Ya it has a lot going on. Seen that 2 pictures are the same thing. Is there a way to edit the post and change those 2 pictures? I don't think its been run over or road rash cuz the lines on the front of the face where the smear is are in perfect line formation and even see some arches like its possible a building that got stamped on it. IDK, but its unique. Sorry not sure how to add to original post I did. But maybe these give a better image on the face of the quarter. Report this Post to the Staff

Some call those "Parking Lot" coins. As it looks like they have been run over numerous times in a parking lot. Report this Post to the Staff

Cujohn Pillar of the Community United States 7174 Posts	Posted 02/27/2024 5:22 pm to the CCF and with everything above. You've come to a great site to learn about errors and varieties. You need to learn what is and what isn't an error or variety before you try to sell them. If you learn the minting process you'll know what's what. If it happened after the strike, it's damage. Everything on your coin is damage. It didn't happen at the mint. Report this Post to the Staff
Punkie17 New Member United States 39 Posts	Posted 03/07/2024 11:54 am Thanks for the info. I just thought that being run over and such would leave major scratches and destroy the whole image of the coin. Please forgive for being not up to par on the distinctions of parking lot coins.

Cujohn Pillar of the Community United States 7174 Posts	Posted 03/07/2024 5:52 pm My answer to you was based on the question of this coin "being worthy to sell". There are too many people selling coins on ebay that have no business selling coins. They give collectors and numismatists a bad name. As I said above, learn the minting process. Then you will know that a coin like this is not in any way an error. Report this Post to the Staff
