<p>[QUOTE="Seattlite86, post: 3218951, member: 59737"]okay, I’m humble enough to admit I don’t know enough here. My quarter is well circulated, which may add to why I cannot see any raised metal surfaces around the missing metal. I can still see the letters and numbers where the missing metal is. I normally write something like this off as a counting wheel error or something, but I’d like to know if a counting wheel could scrape off metal from a coin but leave remnants of letters and numbers? Is this a potential mint error? Please educate me or point me to a resource to learn about this. That or tell me it’s an error and make my day. Please forgive the poor lighting and background choice. Limited time/light available at the moment.
