Looks like the nine has suffered some damage (the missing material through the middle)
Two pictures of the obverse. Picture with different lighting... [IMG]
Found this beaut a while back. [IMG] [IMG]
Looks normal too me!
The first two show post mint damage. The third looks like a lamination error.
Yep, sounds like a die chip!
Picture please!
Looks like what would happen when meant for a lucky charm coin.
Who knows why! However isn't the die itself convex slightly and therefore making it easier to relief that area?
Now that's some close looking.
Looks like the die may have been over polished thus reducing the detail in that area.
Now, how come I can't find one of those?
That's so true. I've noticed some dealers selling MD coins as a Doubled Die..
It can't really be a 'unclad' or 'missing clad' since they were plated from the mint. Clad coins are the dime and quarter for an example.
1994 seemed like a good year for MD on the Wastington Quarter. Had a few nice ones at one time.
Your unplated 1982 is also a small date.
Awe! The old solder job..
Wowee it's a nice one IQless1
I agree with those above me.. It is a clash mark.
Looks like someone had a good time with a hammer. The smooth suface on the reverse indicates the hammering on the obverse with a few other coins.
