1998 quarter 0

[Tony moe]

I have this quarter with the I touching the N what do y'all think about it?

[Fenntucky Mike]

It took a hit displacing the I. PMD

[Hoghead515]

Looks like it took a hit of some kind and displaced the metal over to the I. 

[Hoghead515]

Mike beat me to it by 3 or 4 seconds 

[Tony moe]

I saw someone else has the same displacement on her coin also. How does it happen on 2 coins?

Coins can be damaged in very similar ways, 1's I's N's can see a lot of movement when hit and that I being closer to the edge makes it a common target for damage. My opinion is it's damage and two coins being damaged in a similar/identical manner isn't uncommon or impossible.

Just joking with you Tony. Welcome to the forum. Like Mike said it happens a lot in the same spot on coins. After looking at a few thousands you will see a lot of similarity's

The question you should be asking is "How can this occur during during the minting or die making process?"  The answer is - It Can't.

Mottos aren't added to individual dies (at least not since the first half of the 1800's). Working dies are used to strike the coins.  Working dies are made using working hubs.  Working hubs are made using a master die.  And a Master die is made from a master hub.  The master hub has all of the lettering, so for the "I" to be crooked, it would have to be crooked on the master hub, which means all dies would have this anomaly.  

Sorry, but your coin suffered damage after it left the mint, just as others have posted.  Possibly from a wrapper crimping device, but who knows.  One thing we do know is that this couldn't happen at the mint

I am new here also and I learn something new every day. I am what you call a Cherry Picker. I roll hunt for coins with imperfection's all the time. Some times you find cool things and sometimes you find just  PMD ..Post Mint Damage.. they call it. But It is still a great hobby and I hope you will like it here.   

[Tony moe]

Thanks, i have a few cool coins some are double died some are off center and some are jus old, i search through change everyday hoping to find something worth it. I also have a quarter with the privy mark v75. Not sure About it yet i jus recently found it.

Once you look at more and more coins you will notice there will be several like that.

I do see evidence of a smudge after the "hit". Its small but it's there. Coins are crazy at times! Glad you are in to collecting.
