1963 D silver quarter

What kind of error is this? Between the 6 and 3 of the date there's a 2nd D and between the letters of liberty there's something going on, not sure what.

Ok... I can't figure out what's between the letters of liberty, there seems to be little tarnish spots?? Idk I'm still new to this. Ok gimme a second and I'll put some pics up

 

We need photos to give an honest answer. Without them I'd say it's your imagination. lol

 

There's letters everywhere

 

Sorry, just damage that somewhat looks like letters. Nothing special.

It’s not possible in the minting process to introduce random letters on a coin.

Worth melt value.

 

There's damage the looks like a D and the letter A? I don't think it was damaged by alphabet soup

 

I updated my post while you were answering but I will reiterate- there is absolutely no way for random letters to be minted onto the coin. Go learn the minting process and you will learn that it is just damage and nothing more.

 

I'll clean this coin up and look again. Through my magnifying glass the "ghost letters" Look raised. I'll update once I clean it.

 

Well, you really shouldn’t clean coins. Maybe a quick dip in acetone or a soak in distilled water but do not wipe or rub them with anything.

This quarter is not worth more than melt so cleaning it won’t hurt it’s value, but as a rule, don’t clean your coins.

 

It's just damage.

 

It's nothing.

 

Thanks for the advice, I was gonna use baking soda and try to clean that tarnish off around the word liberty cause with my glass I can see more letters in between liberty.

 

If you used baking soda and it turned out to be a real error, you would be looking at close to melt value. Boil a cup of water in the microwave, take it out while it is still hot and drop the coin in. Let it sit till it gets warm or cold. Rinse the coin. If that doesn't help, a quick acetone soak/rinse is about as much as you should do.

 

Oh ok thanks, that sounds a lot better than Googles plan. Thanks for tip buddy

 

"Googles plan"? What exactly does that mean?

 

It sounds a little mischievous! (Evil scientist laugh)

 

It's just a stain or toning and your imagination that let you see what you're seeing. Do not use baking soda! It's harsh and will damage the coin. While it looks like a D between the 6 and 3, it is not raised like the 6 and 3.

Nothing in the minting process would be responsible for what can be seen.

 

Yeah, what everyone here (except you) said.
