Hi all, Looking through my Delawares for S, instead I found a possible error. Defective die? Cud markings. Hopefully the photos are clear. Y’all be gentle.
I don't see any cuds Pam. Not a defective planchet, those are called planchet striations or roller marks.
Agreed with above and on the reverse those are just hits after the reeded edge of another coin made contact with yours(damage).
Pam, I don’t know if this was suggested yet but reading up at this web site and using it as a lookup reference may enhance your knowledge and enjoyment of coins and our wonderful hobby; error-ref.com Best, Richard
Reed marks from being hit when coins drop into the bags are quite common. Just for fun, use another quarter and see how the reeding matches the marks on your coin perfectly, or close to it.
Roller lines on the obverse. The edge of another quarter left reeding marks and those two lines on George’s hat, they are normal too. I think it helped to identify his rank.
The striations are collectible. I do it when ever I see them. They tone if kept in the right environment to beauty's. I gave this one a distilled water soak and a q tip roll.
