I have a 1980 quarter with unique errors

@Diogenes Diaz I don't know if you are being deliberately provocative or you just can't see how common this damage is. The curvature of the coin being compressed onto the surface of another will leave a straight line if upright. If it is tilted to any degree the indentations will look curved to various degrees depending on the circumference of the coin doing the pressing and the middle reed being the lowest will be a bit deeper than the ones either side of it

Have you ever watched the old game show, The Match Game, when Gene Rayburn was the host? Occasionally, Gene would start a question with.....Dumb Dora was sooooooo dumb.........

Do you think that Diogenes Diaz is related to Dumb Dora?

 

I guess your the dumb one. I have lined up every coin that has a ridge and none fit the mark, so i talked to my best friends dad who works at the mont and he said it was a striking error. Hed been employed at the mint for 20 years

 

Nigerian mints don't count . . . . neither do "monts" . . . . .

 

Well, she seems to be a blonde, given the avatar is accurate . . .

 

Ok she is blonde'-she is beautiful too--where are we going with this?

 

Send it in to a TPG to be authenticated ...


don't forget coins go through many processes after the leave the mint .. when a store gets them from someone then Brinks (etc) collect bags of change and they are all dumped around and sorts in their systems before being sent back out. Many instances of getting bumped / damage et all by a variety of US and non-US coins.

 

Yes but it does not explain why the mark looks the same and is in a straight line---

 

Just reed marks. Very common damage. This type of damage starts the second the coin drops from the press. Once they leave the press they go into giant bags that take a forklift to move. These giant bags go to one of the services like Brinks to be rolled. Coins have a hard life and reed marks/damage is a normal thing.

 

I used to be blonde. I can relate . . . .

Against bang wall head. Re-arrange the words for a popular saying

 

Of course it was a striking error! ONE COIN STRUCK ANOTHER CAUSING THE INDENTATIONS!

By any chance, is your stage name Dora?

 

Here, use these . . . . . more dynamic . . . .



. . . . . when finished . . . . . . . .

 

you are assuming that it somehow wasn't slightly rolled with pressure from above.

You are also assuming someone didn't do this on purpose (or from something else entirely). I used to do a lot of stuff with coin on coin for my daughter's craft stuff. Maybe it was the edge of a flat file, some flat gear ?? .. who knows exactly how it happened, the important part is to identify damage. Or just send it to a TPG for authentication and prove everyone wrong.

 

Ty all i will send it to TPG

 

And, if history repeats itself, we will never hear another word from you about it.

 

In my younger days, I worked at a large bank but that doesn't mean I knew how money was made.
Be sure to let us know what the TPG said and how much it cost you to get the same information you got from here for free.

 

Need to use spell check... Welcome to CT

 

I've been to a bank and I use coins daily. I guess I'm an expert on varieties and errors then... Correct? Follows the logic in this string...
