Perhaps I can shake out some opinions by posting my generic photo. I found this coin in change and set it aside because it looked "different". I threw this under my "soup bowl" camera system to evaluate it. It looks like a problem with the planchet to me. Now, does this coin HAVE a planchet defect? And is it of a type that adds value?

I will work on figuring out how to post pictures.

The quarter is just damaged . "Environmental damage" also known as corrosion is the culprit:-) Thanks, Bill   11-11-2009, 04:12 PM   #8 (permalink) rockdude Coin Collector     Join Date: Aug 2008 Location: ca.

I picture is a must to give an educated opinion. __________________ “Life is tough, but it's tougher when you're stupid.” John Wayne   Bookmarks Digg del.icio.us StumbleUpon Google Would you like to support CoinTalk?
