Patman54 Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 I found this Quarter searching through rolls from the bank it looks like it has worm canals in it. Any ideas what could do this? I thought this was pretty strange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oldhoopster Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 It looks like some type of environmental damage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patman54 Posted May 15, 2021 Author Share Posted May 15, 2021 I was thinking that also but was also thinking it strange because it doesn't affect the whole surface. or the other side. And it looks like some of them actually run underneath the lettering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenstang Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 There are countless things that can happen to a coin after it leaves the mint. Sometimes the only way of knowing what is if you were there when it happened. The main thing that matters is that it is not an error but damage.

Patman54 Posted May 15, 2021 Author Share Posted May 15, 2021 I agree Don't believe it is in error. But was wondering if anyone else had ever seen anything like this. Thought it Kind of strange Not to mention something cool to talk about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cash mike Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 I have seen that happen to a coin. Keys in pocket at same time the coin was there. I'm not saying that's what it was but very similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post RWB Posted May 15, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 15, 2021 The 2005 quarter date and this being 2021, and the squiggly patterns all point to this being emergence of the wily "16-year locust" (or cicadas). These are supposed to appear every 17 years but the wily brood go to sleep a year later so they can party while the others get eaten. The squiggly patterns show that the mint was infested in 2005 and the insects recently dug their way out of the clad coin to spread another generation.
