Sandon Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 Welcome to the NGC chat board. If you're referring to the mark near the "9", it is post-mint damage caused by a hit by a punch or other tool. This coin is simply a worn and damaged 1967 quarter.

powermad5000 Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 I see a faint 9 on a well worn quarter with a hit that pushed some metal up next to the 9. Post mint damage. Not an error. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is just a damaged coin. Edited July 1 by Coinbuf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
