JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 20229 Posts	Posted 03/24/2025 8:29 pm Not an error of any kind. There is no possible way for that to happen during the striking of the quarter. It is severe damage possibly from a fire. Report this Post to the Staff
ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 17390 Posts	Posted 03/24/2025 8:53 pm Agree--rather severe post-strike damage; and yes, may have been exposed to fire. Report this Post to the Staff

Your coin looks like it was found in a parking lot, dropped in some acid, then thrown in a fire to make sure it was dead.

Fbalstud1 New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 03/27/2025 12:06 pm Thank you but I don't understand why the ridges of the coin is completely that golden color like the back of it like the coin was supposed to be that color and missing something Report this Post to the Staff
Hondo Boguss Bedrock of the Community United States 18369 Posts	Posted 03/27/2025 2:19 pm The cladding of a quarter is 75% copper and 25% nickel, even though it appears to be pure nickel. When one is in a fire - with all sorts of other things burning - the cladding and inner copper will react with other chemicals and change colors.
