    Hello all!

    This is my first ever post.
    I came across a quarter that was in the reject slot at the local Coinstar machine.
    It weighs 4.90 grams. Can you tell me if this is intentional damage, or do I have something here? I've attached photos of the obverse and reverse. Its color is the same on both sides, although I retouched the pics a bit to enhance clarity. Thanks!

    Looks like it spent quite a bit of time in the ground, causing a lot of corrosion.

    As stated. Environmental Damage. Corrosion to both sides affected the appearance and color.

    As well as its weight, too. It will be going into a roll of quarters then (not a coin machine)! Thanks.

    Looks like it was dropping acid.
