DNA Pillar of the Community United States 2734 Posts	Posted 09/19/2010 11:20 pm I finally dug this bad boy out of my junk silver stash, to show all my friends on CCF. I got this from circulation in 1987. Of course, I recognized the silver rim and "D" mintmark on the reverse. Under a 16× loupe, I'd say it's a 1952-D. My best guess back in 1987 was that someone gouged off the last two numerals of the date in a lame attempt to keep the Quarter from being pulled from circulation. After all these years, that's still my best guess! Report this Post to the Staff

DNA Pillar of the Community United States 2734 Posts	Posted 09/25/2010 1:18 pm The only thing worse than a vandalized Silver Quarter is a melted Silver Quarter. Good thing this ended up in DNA's "home for abused Silver coins". Report this Post to the Staff
bnacoin Valued Member United States 101 Posts	Posted 09/27/2010 5:25 pm I think a clad quarter would be worse, vandalized or not. Report this Post to the Staff
