Paul Bulgerin Pillar of the Community United States 3098 Posts	Posted 05/05/2025 6:30 pm I purchased this nice, circulated 1898 Barber quarter a couple of years ago. I took it out today and examined it under magnification. On the reverse I noticed a blob of metal at the base of the D in UNITED that goes up to the beginning of the ribbon with E PLURIBUS UNUM on it. I have checked the other Barber quarters in my collection and there is nothing there in this spot. Is this a Cud of some sort? I'm sure it's nothing major, but it is interesting. Thanks for any help rendered. Paul Bulgerin Report this Post to the Staff
