offroadaz New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 02/05/2011 11:59 am I tried to get a snack from the vending machine today and it kept spitting out my quarter. After settling for some snackwells cookies instead of cheezits I went back to my desk and took a closer look at it I cant tell if it was stamped wrong at the mint or another quarter was somehow fused to it? Any ideas? Here are a few pics The Washington head is raised up from the rest of the quarter and is smooth to the touch, it does not have any grooves like a normal one sorry for the cell phone pics but its all I have at work Report this Post to the Staff

Looks like a possible struck through error, but too hard to tell at this point. Good luck! Chugly Report this Post to the Staff

The description sounds like it was glued to something as well with it being smooth but I will hold off saying anything concrete until better pictures are up Report this Post to the Staff

Treatment with organic solvents, depending on the glue type, could answer this question without injury to the coin. Good old acetone is the usual obvious first choice. Report this Post to the Staff
