Greenstang Posted July 6 Share Posted July 6 Just a badly damaged quarter. This could have happened in a number of ways but it doesn’t’t really matter how. Damage is damage. Oldhoopster 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then somebody abraided the surfaces and removed the metal after it left the mint. All of the fine scratches tell you that this coin did not leave the mint in that condition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conder101 Posted July 13 Share Posted July 13 Tey are definitely post strike damage, exactly how the damage was done we can't say. People can be very creative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
