2001 new York quarter error?

PMD - Post Mint Damage
Looks like someone had fun tapping it with a hammer, thus flattening and elongating the edge inwards. You can see it's thin and separate from the coins surface.

Sometimes when I use coinage as a spacer/buffer in a vice for something I'm working on it gets damage like this. I've found coins much cheaper than buy/throw away spacers. After all a quarter is still worth 25 cents after damage (or nickel, penny). A spacer which may only cost 2 cents in a large pack is worthless after damage and gets thrown away.

 

I know exactly what that is.... Only because I am so totally guilty of it as a youngster. Back then we didn't have devices in our hands to keep us busy. Me and my compadres would site for hours tapping the edges of a coin (usually a nickel) with the backside of a spoon. Slowly but surely the edge of the coin would build and the coin would get smaller and smaller..... Yeah, I had waaayyyy too much time on my hands as a lad. This is what you are seeing here. Somebody scalloped the edges with some sort of tool.

 

What about the words on the new York State it's self?

 

Also damaged.. Not a Mint Error

 

ABUSE! And if it happened in this country, I guess it would be "domestic abuse", wouldn't it?

 

Yes, spooning coins was, and still is (!) common, but this coin was not spooned because the reeds are still present. Spooning would damage the reeds, first.

Granted, this coin does look like it was damaged after it left the Mint, but there is no way of knowing exactly what caused it.

I tried a grinder and a big hammer screwed up the coins but they don't look like this one lol

 

Yup been there also as a kid, no electronics back in the 60’s and 70’s.

I dunno, man. This would get REAL old REAL quick. Maybe I'm too A.D.D.

 

Can any body know how much this cost or ever seen this kind of errors on this 2001
New York Statehood Quarter with missing T on one side and the other is missing F and R and a gap between the whole quarter

 

I have a 2001 New York state. quarter that reads DOLLA instead of dollar and is also missing the mint mark and was trying to find out info on it also

 

Hello.
The missing R in DOLLAR usually is a result of grease that gets compacted on the Die that is used to strike the Blank Quarter planchet.. When that occurs some letters won't form properly.

No Mint Mark means it was minted at The Philadelphia Mint.

You have a Worn Die Strike issue. Nothing major.

Also.. For your future questions. Start your own separate thread. Pictures are always needed to show us your coin.
