    I think it is a quarter. What do you think?

  3. That's what it is!!!! I knew I found one. Thanks bud!!! I appreciate your feedback but not your poor attempt at humor. If you're not here to help a Greenhorn like myself, please keep your awful wit to yourself. Thank you and have a great night.

    @Kentucky made that remark in light that you did not post what you needed help on. It is very difficult to determine what you see if you don't let us know.

    If you are going to be on here, you will have to chill out. You could have responded that you knew that but were wondering what the odd marks are or something like that. Sorry but you have to give people something to go on. I see nothing but a somewhat beat up quarter. What do you think is odd about it? (is that better)

  6. My original post. Broken down in red Crayon for some. been really good brother and really busy. I work for Costco and we've been Hella busy. I'm back though and I've got a quarter I need looked at if you don't mind. And thanks for checking on me, I really appreciate that and it means a lot. Look at "in God we trust" and "Liberty" as well as the "P" mint mark. Also the Reverse side "United States of America" and quarter dollar. It just doesn't look right. Thanks brother. I'm trying to figure out how to attach. Lol.

  8. Chill out for being honest? Nope. Thanks though for your advice. Couldn't post original so I put my original post in the replies. I got it covered by one of my friends on here but thanks.

    The letters around the rim appear to be smooshed for lack of a better word, but this would be what is usually called PMD or Post Minting Damage. Hang on for a bit and others will comment.

    So, what did they say?

    That is what they look like when the Dies are set just right for a full strike but the Dies are excessively worn giving you that sharp funny look to the rim lettering. You’ll also notice the lettering at the rim migrates toward the rim and the letters become out of alignment with each other. The I B R T in Liberty exhibit this misalignment. Classic signs of excessively worn Dies. I see some Die Deterioration Doubling as well.
    Just my opinion from what I see

    I believe what is throwing off the letters is that it appears to be a later die state so the letters are starting to smush up and appear larger. This is confirmed accurate by the P mintmark being filled in, by a die break.

    physics-fan3.14 You got any more of them.... prooflikes?

    You didn't ask a question in your OP, so it was really hard to help you.

    You posted a circulated, perfectly normal quarter worth 25 cents.

    What did you expect?

    Looks like a really worn tired reverse die or a grease strike thru either way not much if any premium over face

    Looks like a normal quarter with a lot of circulation marks. Maybe a little die deterioration along the top of the obverse. As other have suggested, please post what you think is unusual and you should get a few usable responses.

    Remember, this is an anonymous forum, so there are always a few sarcastic comedians. I think you've been on here long enough to know who knows what they are talking about and who is blowing smoke up you *$$
