Hi Braxton, First welcome to Cointalk. Second making multiple threads on same subject is frowned upon third without photos there is no one that can help you.

 

Has ridges on the side and what looks like letters on back above dome

 

I didn't mean to make to post more then 1 I'm on a mobile phone with low data so I didn't think the first one uploaded but here's a pic

 

I saw your first photo and it does appear to have reeding. Is it possible to also take a clear shot front and back and possibly weigh the coin in grams?

 

No worries Braxton it happens, just message a mod and ask them to combine the threads

 

Slow down Braxton. Your first photo and post came through but you now have three posts on the same item. Give everyone some time to see and reply.

 

Yikes, three threads now, slow down buddy, we got the first one. Give everyone a bit of time to see the first one and reply.

 

I'm hoping it's a nickle on a quarter planchet.

 

I can tell you what it is but, an obv photo would be helpful.

 

I could tell you what I "think" it is but I'm not! Better pie in someone else's face than mine Need more photos.

 

Here's more pics

 

It's not and Error Coin of any kind. It's just PMD - Post Mint Damage

 

No..can't happen. A Blank Quarter Planchet will not fit into the chamber that holds the blank Nickel to be struck. It could only happen the other way around. A blank Nickel Planchet could fit into a Quarter chamber because it is smaller.

It's not and Error Coin of any kind. It's just PMD - Post Mint Damage

 

I'm going to try a d post more pictures cause idt it could be pmd how would it get the ridges on the side or the letters above the building? And it was like half a circle in the middle that looks like half a coin

 

I repeat.. It's not and Error Coin of any kind. It's just PMD - Post Mint Damage
There are some people out there with a lot of time on their hands. They will mess around with normal struck coins and figure out how to make it look like an error when it is not. The reeding was added on post mint.
