Damaged,that's the impression of reeding marks from another coin after the edge made contact with yours,still a quarter.

 

Correct.. Incused marks is a hard hit from another reeded edge. It's usually 2 or 3 marks.

There's no reason for the US Mint to mark 3 D"s on a coin and it not a mint error of any kind.

 

I never knew that 2 coins could strike with such force that an impression, so distinct, could be left on 1 coin. I wonder what the second coin looks like. I learn something new from the gentlemen on this site every day. One never knows what you don't know, when you don' know!!

 

@Martinjb …go to doubleddie.com and read all sections there. It will help you immensely to learn how dies are made and the minting process.

 

Viewing this video, watch how many times the coin falls into a tray or container of other coins. The drop gets the coin moving pretty fast and then they contact the others at random.

The Mint does Bag a lot of coins and if the bag is dropped the forces exerted do this type of damage often.

 

They do look like D’s. Rim mark maybe

 

Not maybe, definitely!

 

Unquestionably, damage from the reeding from anther reeded edge coin.

 

I viewed it from multiple angles and it still looks like they are struck in and not dents in the coin I now have a microscope camera and would be willing to show you some additional pictures please message me back

 

Go ahead and post them here. Nothing's gonna change what it is though. I've literally seen 1000's of coins with these coins through the years. They are refered to as "bag marks". There's absolutely no way possible for there to be 3 D's on your coin.

 

Np you asked for additional info ☺️ feelings not hurt seen thousands since only one that "looks" like a strike lol

 

Also I think you still don't understand how mint marks are applied. The mint mark is added to the die, not the planchette.

 

Still very new maybe 5k coins reviewed so far check my next one though if you want a laugh

 

You are also correct in one aspect. They aren't dents. The reeding actually penitrated the surface of the coin.

 

Ty my old eye aren't shot yet lol

 

Next post is about cool a$$ cud errors not destructive but game changing I love this coin gonna be profile pic enjoy 3 min out.

 

I I truly have been researching and learning more doing my absolute best to become a respected person in this forum and I do thank you.

 

Does the size and font match up with any other D used by the mint? No. So how do these random Ds end up on A die? Answer = they don't

Here is some info on how dies are made. Take some time to study it and you'll understand why everyone is telling they're bag marks
