-makecents- Pillar of the Community United States 8728 Posts	Posted 12/30/2025 10:17 am The fact that you can see the letter U showing through makes me believe that it's not a die break. Can you give us a clear full coin shot of the obverse and reverse? -makecents- Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 94786 Posts	Posted 12/30/2025 10:21 am to CCF. Looks like the edge of a grinder wheel, or maybe a file crated this gouge on the quarter. But the grind marks seem to be going the wrong direction for a wheel grinder. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

Dewit3 New Member United States 13 Posts	Posted 12/30/2025 5:45 pm I don't believe it is a Die break anymore because I can see the U in between the damage part. Might be a strike error, I dont think it is a Cud. Here is the coin pictures. hope this can help with identifying the coin error. Thank you. Report this Post to the Staff
-makecents- Pillar of the Community United States 8728 Posts	Posted 12/30/2025 5:53 pm Thank you for the extra pics. It would appear to be damage, possibly from a pair of tin snips. -makecents- Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 94786 Posts	Posted 12/30/2025 6:16 pm AH!! ok, now that we can see the reverse, I would say that this quarter was pinched in a needle nose type vise grip pliers (or something similar) And this is why we ask for full coin images of both sides.
