1965 Quarter With an "A" on the front.

I found this quarter out of a vending machine, there is a small "A" on the front of it, you may have to zoom in.

Welcome to CoinTalk! I can barely see an "A" so I think it may be a counterstamp.

 

That is the famous Author Fonzaralli quarter.


:welcome: to coin talk.

 

Whats that?

 

Sarcasm from Kirkuleez.

A counter stamp is just when something was stamped into the coin. You could get a piece of steel in the shape of an A and hit it with a hammer so it leaves that mark in the coin.

 

Sorry, just having a little fun, I don't really see the A that you describe.

Hover over the picture, then look right above the end of the hair.

 

I saw what looked like a sideways "A" above Washington's braid.

 

yeah thats the one

 

I see it now. Is it raised from the surface or is it sunken into the coin?

 

I cant tell, but I think its sunken in.

 

Isn't there also a "P" under "TRUST?"

 

I saw..........nothing. A counter stamp would be more obvious and prominent. Perhaps an anomaly resembling an 'A'? Or more likely, post mint damage resembling an 'A'.

 

I see it on the picture, but not on the coin. lol

 

Hey, this forum would get awfully boring if there aren't people around who like to have fun

 

It looks like it is a counterstamp to me. That A was not there when the coin was issued from the mint.

 

What about the "P" below the U and S in Trust, like the other person mentioned?

 

I think Ken's right...not likely a counterstamp.
