[QUOTE="Clawcoins, post: 3590185, member: 77814"]Also, do not limit yourself to one, singular explanation of the damage. After it left the mint how many hands has the quarter been through? How many times has it dropped to the ground? how many cashier's tills has it been in? How many pockets, how many times has someone thrown it into a wishing well ? These are the answers that are simply not attainable nor explainable. The most important thing is to identify it as Post Mint Damage rather than damage during the Minting phase. After coins are minted they fall down a metal chute into an inspection tray. After that they fall down a chute to the ballistic bags. When full the ballistic bags are closed, and since on a pallet are then distribute to coin vendors when requested. If you have been staring at this for months, have you taken it to a local coin shop, or coin show, facebook groups or other coin forums or another place where there may be an expert that can see it in hand? And if so, what was their conclusion?[/QUOTE]
