Hello! I have a quarter and a dime that both puzzle me. I’m hoping someone can answer a couple of questions. I apologize in advance for the poor quality of the photos. Quarter: Why is this quarter gray? It also appears to have very fine hatching across the surface. Dime: Poor thing has had a hard life. This is post minting damage, correct? I thank you for any answers!
Your quarter has been 'stained' by some liquid; it didn't leave the Mint like that. What you see occurred to if after it was in circulation. The Dime is badly damaged......
