Deesecrist New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 09/14/2024 4:52 pm 1st post, hope I get it right! Hi everyone! I have acquired an amazing 1776-1976 D Bicentennial Quarter. I have no idea what this sort of error is called and could use some help. This coin has so much going on, I'm just going to list a few of the more obvious errors. The obverse contains a smudge through the "L" and "B" in library and the reverse contains a smudge through the "U" in united states. Almost everything on the reverse has interesting qualities to it. The reverse also has a gold"ish" coloring on it. Some of the images the "gold" changed color do to lighting while taking the photographs how ever there is a picture that shows the correct color... I hope my images are easy to see. Can anyone please tell me about this coin and what I should do with it. Report this Post to the Staff

Deesecrist New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 09/15/2024 7:03 pm Hi guys! Thanks so much for your help! Just curious, what in the world could actually cause the metal to smear or smudge like that? For future reference what causes this type of damage? Also is this some sort of doubling around the lettering? (This is the same coin, it's really got a lot going on!) Report this Post to the Staff

Cujohn Pillar of the Community United States 7174 Posts	Posted 09/16/2024 6:59 pm to the CCF and all of this is damage with a little Machine Doubling. Anything can cause this damage. Looks like it spent a little time on a parking lot. Report this Post to the Staff
Deesecrist New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 09/16/2024 8:39 pm That's for all the help guys! Extremely impressive how quickly everyone responded and the amount of honest engagement. I genuinely feel welcomed with just my first post. Some what unexpected when you're new and mostly dense compared to everyone else! I sincerely appreciate it! I have so many coins and so many questions... Can y'all tell me is it acceptable frowned upon to post constantly? Because I honestly don't know but have such a desire to learn...also find it easier to learn from specific examples rather than general topics if that makes sense? My next coin I've been waiting so, so long for some answers to *Excited! Report this Post to the Staff
