is this a mint error?

To me it seems like a mint error. Its bent weirdly, and the surface on both sides of the coin dont appear as post mint damage. Any ideas?

Nope. Just mangled.

Some letters fade into the dent in a way. I think i might see doubling on "quarter dollar" in 3rd pic. The rim looks wobbly instead of clean round. Idk i could be dead wrong lol.

 

Yup...dead wrong

 

Probably stuck to gum on a truck tire..........

 

parking lot damage.

 

Everyone's top 3 favorite judgments on CT:
1. PMD
2. FAKE
3. DOUBLED DIE, NOT DOUBLE DIE!

In your case, the answer is #1....

 

post mint damage for sure, sorry bud.

 

Yeah, it is just beat up.

 

What kind of Mint error did you think it was? Oh, I know! Any time Mint employees spot an irregular coin, they take out their hammers and beat it to death so it can't make it out the doors.

I disagree with your list. #3 should be Machine Doubling. #4 would be "Cleaned"

And the reason these are the top three answers is because these are the top 3 types of coins posted. There's probably 20 problem, fake, cleaned, mangled, machine doubled coins posted for every good coin.

To the OP - we call your coin a "parking lot find" It is mangled, and I probably wouldn't even take it in change if you gave it to me.

 

Thanks i appreciate the information

 

DOLAR is doubled on this coin, there are two Ls in it.
