One sided quarter - US Mint reject?? What's is worth.

Thank you. I thought that the coin was just a piece of junk anyway. I wasn't aware of not posting web addresses. It is easier to post web site than e-mail address. I am new to this and I won't be hanging around much anymore. Good luck!

I never thought I'd be writing this here. Content and attitude not within forum guidelines. As the forum states, you can trash a coin, but not the poster. he is new, and should have a chance to catch on. If he wishes to leave for his own reasons, so be it, but it doesn't mean one should shove him for what I have read so far.

 

You should never hold a coin with tweezers like that. A coin should be held by the edge (using your fingers, not tweezers, pliers, wrenches, shears, snips, etc.).

 

I have one no way a magician. What kind of trick, why disappearing act. There's no way that was done with a grinder. It was grinded at the mint. Never covince

 

There was no grinder it was grinded at the the mint. Magician really. I have one in my had I've been comparing them with a jewlers loop grinder cat do different layers, some have a slight curve to it

 

Get that gem off to PCGS right away, then. Happy retirement.

 

You are correct! This is Bob. His job is to grind random coins for no reason at all at the Mint and put them into circulation so they can be found and marveled at!

 

The copper visible around the edge of the coin where the rim once was almost assures the coin was just ground flat.

The edge is thicker when it the planchet is struck so the thin cladding is stretched even thinner. When the coin is ground down the copper is first visible around the edge of the damage. Then the high points begin showing copper generally.

 

I have an 1989 S quarter with a head but a mirror finish on the tail.Is it a half proof?

 

Suggestion.. Start your own separate thread. Pictures are really needed.
