    Hello- Please allow me to preface my question by stating that I know nothing about coin collecting.
    I am curious, however, about a 1966 Washington quarter that I received in change recently. It appears to be
    cut, but I haven't been able to determine what it was cut by and was hoping someone here might have an idea.
    The cut is about the width of a sheet of paper (though it looks huge in my photos).

    So what say you? Can someone here satisfy my curiosity?

    Thanks in advance for any/all help!

    I'd say Jewelery saw I'm guessing something done in high school Jewelery making class. That's the only way I think you could get the angles in the cut. Just my. 02

    Cool, I knew it was done post mint, but wasn't sure what was used to make a hairline cut with angles. I thought dremel at first, but didn't
    think it could make a cut that narrow.

    Thanks again!
