Could you tell me if this coin was damaged by individual or if the coin had been damaged during the minting process? Rare or worth just 25 cents? I appreciate the time you take with all of your knowledgeable
First, welcome to the neighborhood, @Jeremy Lunsford ! Put on your thinking cap and see if you can answer this for us. How do you think this could have happened at the Mint? Chris
That's why I'm asking other members who doesn't want to be funny and actually has intelligent response that is knowledgeable.
Welcome to Coin Talk Jeremy, I would say that your coin has Post Mint Damage [PMD]. It looks like it got caught in some type of machine, and most likely not one at the mint.
Yes it is post mint damage. You can't even spend it as a quarter. But you can take it to your bank, they send mutilated coins back and credit your account. You took Chris' comment the wrong way. He was not being snarky. He took the time to answer your post ( there are 100 of these a week, is this an error?) and he was just trying to help you. Your reply was snarky though.
Thank you. Thanks for response. Sorry Chris, for taking comment wrong. Are they even collectable or worth hanging onto?
I do metal detecting. My GF dug one up like this and she loves it. I took a pile of mutilated coins to my credit union at the end of last year, ($1.50) and they credited my account. I already have 50 cents this year. It's worth a quarter. Sometimes if it is just bent a little, you can hammer it flat. But this one has that right edge problem. Maybe you can get rid of it at a 7-11. Drop the exact amount of change on the counter and scoot.
No problem! It's a spender or as @Michael K said, take it to your bank and exchange it for another quarter. Banks routinely turn in mutilated coins to the Fed for destruction. Chris
Too similar to my mutilated quarter, not to have the same point of origin...post-die machinery at the mint.
