Smoore4083 New Member United States 6 Posts	Posted 03/08/2026 6:02 pm I have a 1994P quarter with some type of error on the obverse that I can't identify what type of error it is. The area in question is a bumpy area, which is the same height as Washington's image. * Edited by Staff to crop and/or rotate images. In the future, please crop and correctly orient images before uploading. * * Edited by Staff to Add Year and/or Mintmark and/or Denomination to Title. It's essential to have it in the title. * Added pic of the reverse Edited by Smoore4083 03/08/2026 7:33 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Smoore4083 New Member United States 6 Posts	Posted 03/08/2026 7:24 pm I'm new here, so I thank you for all input and responses. If it was heat damage, wouldn't the reverse be damaged also? Does heat make the metal expand that way? Report this Post to the Staff

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 73687 Posts	Posted 03/08/2026 8:09 pm The reverse is affected too. It's discolored from the heat. Heat damage will cause the metal layers to bubble and separate. Quarters minted from 1965 to present have clad. The clad layers will separate when heated. Hopefully this simple explanation will be enough. Errers and Varietys. Edited by Errers and Varietys 03/08/2026 8:14 pm Report this Post to the Staff
