I am new and interested in learning more about how to categorize American coins by error. I have two quarters that I would like to correctly label and wondered if the errors on these two coins are the same. Thank you for any assistance you can provide.

To CCF! What you're seeing is environmental damage. Not an error.

Looks like it has spent some time buried in the ground.

@SEB Both coins appear to have been exposed to harsh environmental conditions which has tarnished them. Both also show circulation wear/damage. These are not mint errors but post mint damage.
