Your quarter has no errors, anything on your coin can be attributed to damage. You can't have a clip with the Reed Marks showing, it has just taken a hit. Value 25 cents. |

That's not true , I just read that there have been coins with planchet errors and still had reed's. Why can't I get an honest answer out of anyone about this. Everyone automatically leans toward its fake before really looking at it. I give up.

I agree with JimmyD - this is just a badly damaged coin.
Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures

Sorry to say, but both JimmyD and Hondo are correct on this one.
this is intentional damage.
if you read something about reeds that look like this, please post up a link of your findings, so we can better understand what you have found.

Not only is this possibly authentic from what I said it is showing signs of the blakesley effect which I read is the excess metal is pushed and appears to be flowing inward onto the coins surface eliminating lettering around the edge or pushing toward the centered the blob of metal over washingtons face.

All you have to do is Google can a clipped planchet show reed's where the clip is it will take you to the links and give a detailed explanation. Why are you so defensive about this possibly being a mint error. Seems odd.

Also for this to be intentional. To take an object and come down on a coin that many times without bending or leaving deep scratches all over the coin is impossible. I'm not a machinist but I've worked with metal before, welding, and I've taken a hammer or two to some soft and strong metals both had to be held with clamps leaving some type of marking.

Not only that, you stated that the coin is only worth 25 cents. I never asked how much it was worth, I don't care if the coin is worth a million dollars. You assumed that's what I wanted to know. I don't need that money if it were worth that much for your information, I was going to give it to my son.thank you very much.

It's all damage. I'll tell you what: Send it off to PCGS. Use the top-tier service and fastest turnaround time. If it comes back in a genuine error slab, I will triple-reimburse you the fees. I own this place, so you know where to find me. So now the ball is in your court. You have absolutely nothing to lose. Unless, of course, all of us are wrong and you are right.  |

Some ferocious energy on this thread! Perhaps it should be explained why reeds are not found in the missing portion of a clipped planchet. A planchet has a smooth edge. The collar—the device that locks the coin between the hammer and anvil dies—is what strikes the reeds into the coin's edge. The collar is circular and precisely sized for the planchet diameter. So if material is missing in a clip, there is simply no way for the reeds on the collar to reach into the clipped area.    These articles were written by recognized industry experts on mint error coins: https://www.error-ref.com/blanking-...ting-errors/https://www.error-ref.com/_curved_clips_/Regrettably, the only way to get reeds into the indented area is if something struck a fully formed coin and crushed the reeded edge inwards. That appears to have happened here. |

I will do that. And I wasn/ trying to prove anyone wrong here, just wanted some open mindedness. Btw the bicentennial coin in the link you advised I should look at shows reed's on the clipped planchet. Who am I to say anything I'm not a numismatist. You know what they say, you don't have to own a bakery to know how to bake a cake. Also you don't have to pay me anything, I told you I don't need the money. Thank you for your time. Have a
glorious Sunday, I will.
