Charlie82 Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 I’m new here but I will be the first to say it looks like an error but like I said I’m new. If it’s not I still think that is a cool coin. I read on another post that extreme heat can cause bubbles. Anyways i would like to know myself on this one what it is.

Greenstang Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 (edited) Welcome to the Forum. Not an error, just some form of environmental damage. It is only an error if it happens during the striking of the coin. Anything that happens after that is damage, no matter what the cause.

1896morgenman Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 Have a 1965 with a strange mark anyone have any further info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenstang Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 (edited) Please start your own post as it just causes confusion when you piggyback onto an existing one. As far as your coin goes, not an error, it is some sort of damage (environmental?) as that could not happen during the striking of the coin which is the only time an error can occur.

VSI Collection Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 I agree that this is some type of damage done after the minting process.It can be difficult to determine how this damage was done without viewing both sides of the coin and having the coin to look at in person.with that said the coin doesn’t look like any mint error I have seen and I have seen and have many mint errors in my collection.

Capone1929 Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 (edited) Found this interesting 1981 D washington quarter in a roll from the bank while coin roll hunting today! It does not appear to be post MMD or enviromental! It has nice decent surfaces! I do not see any grind or tool marks on it and it all appears to flow like lava or liquid as well as appears to have other letters around the L especially a B between the L and I in liberty and L looks like upside down T, also "of" is clearly visable struck in Washingtons cheek. Appears to have defective peeling clad like error crack around IGWT to neck, on the reverseThe eagles break and part of head looks struck through or well missing and counter sunk like struck through debri, ridges on edge are there but appears to have several clipped errors and liquid like flow, it also appears to have the same diameter of a SBA dollar or Quarter but thinner! Appears to me that it is a quarter struck on SBA dollar planchet(if this is even possible Im not sure however SBAs were minted in 81') , a quarter on a nickel planchet, or wrong metal, however reeds are not smooth. I have not weighed it, but can send weight when I arrive back home, Please view all photos closely, as plenty are on the way, I sure would appreciate some input and yes weight can say a lot, I would just like some initial input and help, Please and Thank You, Sincerely, Copone1929 Edited October 15, 2019 by Capone1929 Add photos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crawtomatic Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 Everything about it appears to be post mint damage to me. I'm not hypothesizing on how, but that's my opinion and input for this topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenstang Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 It is just a badly damaged coin. PMD. There is no way that could happen to the rims during the striking process. Don't know what happened but you can even see the cladding separating from the copper core. It can't be on a SBA planchet as it would be too large to fit in a quarter collar. Just worth 25 cents if you can get someone to take it. Also why did you not start your own post? We have 3 different coins posted now. It just adds confusion when answering a question.

Capone1929 Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 (edited) Hello, all! This is a 1985 strange P mint mark Washington Quarter I found diameter is larger than normal quarter, weighs 5.5 grams, has very apperent writing that sticks above the surface appears to be a second liberty, also other lettering, and edge reeds seem odd, obverse inside collar rim appears to be reeded or something simular to a canadian type of collar rim, also at at certain angles it looks like 1983 and others 1985 5 looks like 3, look closely above mint mark very apperent lettering, Wrong planchet? Broadstruck? Double Struck? Off metal? Greased die, (last photo shows how 5 looks like 3), Any help would be appreciated, Error? If so approx value? Thank You, Sincerely, Capone1929 Edited October 31, 2019 by Capone1929 Add photos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenstang Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 Please start a new post for every coin. This post is getting confusing with so many different coins posted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capone1929 Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 (edited) Hello all, I found this interesting 1984 d Lincoln Cent while coin roll hunting, I believe it is a gas bubble error/lamination error it also has flaking on the obverse and appears to have a double date and MM as well Appears to be offcenter with a slight rotation to the reverse! It is Red-R/B with complete pinwheels on both o/r of coin or almost full pinwheels and has luster! Major distortion and lots of bubbles on both o/r! Looks like the surface of the moon but is actually a really nice coin otherwise! What exactly type of error is this? Multi Error? Value? Any help would be appreciated, I appologize if I send too many pictures as I am only trying to give you a good view of the coin. Thank You, Sincerely, Capone1929 Edited December 8, 2019 by Capone1929 Add details! Happy Hollidays! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenstang Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 Why do you keep adding more coins to this posting? You should start a new post for each coin instead of piggybacking on someone else's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well this was a thread I started, the quarter above is mine so dont think im piggybacking anything, but I didnt know I should start one for each, I appologize for that, however you dont need to be so rude about it and be a jerk, Im a grown man that deserves respect not no little kid that needs scaulded, I simply didnt know, Thanks for the help!

Greenstang Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 Those bubbles are caused by zinc dust. It was an early plating problem they had when they switched to zinc planchets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greenstang Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 Not really considered an error, more of a die event, an acceptable part of minting. There is no premium for it, worth 1cent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samisosa Posted February 10, 2023 Share Posted February 10, 2023 For the person that has the 1981 quarter on here I don't know why I would Have a quarter that looks just like that with the same type of impressions.I have aI have a 1984 quarter, I think that it's also some type of error As well. A lot of people tell me its also just a human error but it's weird how similar they look that's for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandon Posted February 10, 2023 Share Posted February 10, 2023 @Samisosa--Both coins were likely mutilated by similar machinery. Welcome to the NGC chat board. It would be best to post inquiries about your own coins as separate topics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
