I was wondering if someone here could tell me if this is an error coin or not. It looks like what was suppose to be an extra leaf.
Reed marks happen when the reeded edge of another coin contacts the surface of a coin. I don't see anything that looks like an extra leaf anywhere.
I circled where I'm seeing this. I could just be wrong (probably am). But these marks aren't on other quarters.
I see where you're talking about, but I think that Chris is probably right. It looks like the reeded edge of another quarter banged into this one there.
Yes, the area you circled definitely appears to be reed marks (a form of post mint damage). These are considered part of normal wear, and will lower the grade some.
