Chas21 New Member United States 7 Posts	Posted 05/24/2024 7:26 pm I new to collecting also my knowledge on identifying errors is minimal. This 2013 Maryland Fort McHenry quarter on the front side appears to me that there wasn't enough material to fill the die when stamped, the head has no definition on hair, my other thought is grease on die? On the rim of coin there is a slick surface on the copper color area? On the back side of coin the area around the die stamp is also not like the other 2013 Maryland Fort McHenry quarters. Please help with identifying this coins appearance and help with what may have caused this Thank you Report this Post to the Staff
