    Ok, so this looks like the side of a quarter to me? Does anyone know if this is a mint error or what exactly is happening here? 0A5C3D3F-5954-4AA7-8E66-9A5776F8E02F.jpeg 637C85FE-6AAB-4345-88C6-E4ECAE34D8EF.jpeg 6BCC2A67-948F-4AAC-B737-69DD6BFE27A4.jpeg

    looks like a vise job smashed into the coin.

    Agree with @spirityoda.... When the mint rejects a coin the will "waffle" the coin rendering it unspendable. I bet this is a vice job in an attempt to replicate a waffled coin.

    Damaged, probably in a vise as stated. Nice photos.
