    It is just damage. The fact that you say the coin is bent verifies that.

    No, that is a Close AM.
    In the future, include a complete photo of the coin. There are other and better markers in telling the difference between a CAM and WAM .     
    Also do not use screen shots, they are too pixilated to see fine detail.

    It is neither a Struck THROUGH or a Broadstruck that I can see.
    To show if it is rotated, take a photo in front of a mirror so we can see both sides at once.

    You’re right, the last one is just damage.   
    The first one is a MAD, not an off centre strike.

    Welcome to the forum
    To get a coin graded, it should have a value of at least $150.00 to make it worthwhile.   
    Just because a coin is beautiful, it does not make it valuable. What you have without
    seeing them would probably make good album fillers. If you would like to post a clear
    photo of both sides of the coins we might be able to help you further.

    Welcome to the forum
    Why would you want a common quarter to be graded. It would cost you about $55-60.00 to grade.   
    Getting coins graded without the proper knowledge is a great way to lose money.
    There were over 860 million D mintmark produced and with the condition of yours with the damage    
    isn’t worth much more than face value.   
    Unless a coin is worth at least $150- 200.00, it is not worth the cost of grading.

    Greenstang got a reaction from Sandon in 1989 struck on copper and the 9 looks like a 2 what error is this?   
    A 1989 is struck on copper plated zinc, not copper.   
    There is damage to the date but the 9 still looks like a 9, not a 2

    If it was a die break, it would be raised, not incuse. What you have is just damage and wear.
    Suggest you read up on the minting process and what constitutes an error to save   
    you the time of posting damaged coins.

    Greenstang got a reaction from Sandon in 1987 p Washington quarter dollar with over a dozen mistakes help me with your knowledge and I will be appreciative.   
    Dryer coin or spooned coin, they are both considered damage.  You cannot have a quarter    
    without reeding unless it was stuck out of collar which yours was not.
    When you say “mistakes” , I assume you mean errors. There are no errors on your coin.  
    Still worth 25cents though no matter how much damage.

    That is called a cud caused by a broken die.   
    Please work on your photography, in this case it is acceptable 
    but if we have to see fine detail, it would be of no use.

    There are two types of 42/41 dime varieties. Yours is the the D mint variety
    As mentioned, always supply a complete photo of both sides along with your closeup.

    Nothing there that would be considered an error, just damage.   
    Remember, it is only an error if it happens during the striking of the coin.   
    Anything that happens once the coin is ejected is considered damage.

    Greenstang got a reaction from Coinbuf in 1882 O Morgan Dollar - What Is This?   
    There is no seam. The coin has been pressed into the bezel.    
    Notice on the obverse how high the rim is, that is part of the bezel.    
    Although not a valuable Morgan in that condition, you would probably.  
    ruin it trying to remove it. Leave it as it is.

    The second one you can see where the metal has folded over after the coin was struck.

    Besides the W mint mark, just look at the U in UNITED, a counterfeit is straight    
    on the bottom on the right hand side, a genuine coin is curved. This applies to
    a lot of the years of counterfeits.

    The only 1970 small date has the S mint mark . Seeing yours has no mm, it would not be possible

    We see these quite often on the forum.  
    As Coinbuf stated, just a vise job or sometimes called a garage job.  
     Someone with too much time on their hands. A damaged coin now.
