Just good ole die wear.
Old, weak, and worked to death dies.

 

Thank you

 

Check the wieght as there were 1970-D quarters struck on dime stock.

 

You'll also find quite a few P and D mint marks on quarters filled as well. Probably for the same reason(s). Material clogs up those tiny spaces on the die.

 

A weak strike to begin with and lots of good ole American wear on that one.

 

Weigh it coz. There is a light 70D out there. I had one

 

Like alurid said. Ooops
