BryanMC39 Posted Saturday at 01:04 PM Share Posted Saturday at 01:04 PM 1981 D Washington Quarter, there's a mix of mint damage and possible after mint damages as well but it quite a bit and I don't know what is what I. Going to try to add pictures to best show it, unfortunately this is my best camera and micro lens. Sorry about the clarity, but it's the best I have.

ldhair Posted Saturday at 01:54 PM Share Posted Saturday at 01:54 PM I believe it is all circulation damage and not mint damage. Sandon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenstang Posted Saturday at 02:18 PM Share Posted Saturday at 02:18 PM Welcome to the Forum. There is nothing on that coin that can’t be attributed to circulation damage. It is only an error if it happens during the actual striking of the coin. Sandon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BryanMC39 Posted Saturday at 02:53 PM Author Share Posted Saturday at 02:53 PM Okay, thanks, I just thought since I could see that the outer coating doesn't look damaged in the obverse and folds down into the reverse holes the weired planchette pushed in areas and along the sides, that it was mint. But that's why I'm asking, because I'm wrong quite allot! So thank you again!, But what about what looks like a strike through in the center of Washington's face? Is that what it looks like or is it a laminating error? Feeder fingers? Or just circulating damage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coinbuf Posted Saturday at 03:32 PM Share Posted Saturday at 03:32 PM Everything you see on your quarter is damage after it left the mint. Sandon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powermad5000 Posted Saturday at 06:37 PM Share Posted Saturday at 06:37 PM A very well circulated, badly damaged quarter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lem E Posted Saturday at 08:10 PM Share Posted Saturday at 08:10 PM Anyone else thinking heat damage? These areas look slightly bubbled to me. Could just be light reflection but it looks like this could have been in a fire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powermad5000 Posted Sunday at 06:51 PM Share Posted Sunday at 06:51 PM I don't know about fire, but maybe some tiny rocks underneath it and it got ran over in a parking lot a few times. That coin has had a rough life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
