Is this a normal surface for a 1965 quarter? I am not sure I have not noticed this texture on any other coins. If this is an error....what is the terminology for it?
I can't tell exactly what the arrows are supposed to be pointed to. Gets fuzzy when I expand the pics. Texture wise I'm thinking parking lot maybe dryer or roof. See cents like that, may be the 1st quarter I can recall looking like that. But it's 1st year clad.
The arrows are pointing to the "radials" on a very worn die made by grooves cut into the die due to "metal flow" or whatever the "experts" wish to call it. Worn Die Radials
Sorry - I thought my pictures sucked! What I can tell is you just have a quarter minted from a horribly worn die!~!
