the new guy New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 04/04/2011 12:45 am Hi, I found a connecticut quarter that has what looks like reeding on the face and back of the coin aprx. 1/4 the way around the rim of the coin. It looks like it was made by a machine as the grooves are are uniform in size and have a steadily increasing gap between them as they go around the coin. Any ideas? I'll post some pics on here tomorrow. Report this Post to the Staff

the new guy New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 04/07/2011 2:34 pm any ideas on what might have caused the damage? I was thinking maybe someone got really bored and took some side cutters to it... Report this Post to the Staff
coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 04/07/2011 2:53 pm Not to be rude or anything, but there's as many possibilities out there as you can imagine. The important thing (to me, anyway) is that the coin is damaged and is worth face value. None of the rest would matter to me. Report this Post to the Staff
