    Hello!

    So its my first time ever making a post here and thought that I can get some help from the community!

    I came across a few coins like the wheat penny and the indian head while working at a McDonald's a few years ago and kept those to the side. A few years forward, It came time to deposit my yearly "piggy bank" when at the same time youtube suggested a video about the hobby of Coin Roll Hunting.

    So instead of missing out on the opportunity, I decided to go through each quarter (less than $50 worth) and see any obvious or odd looking quarters (plus the no hit silvers). This is officially my first attempt in pursuing the hobby and this is where I am now in the situation of. I came across a quarter to my inexperience that would teach me in the ways of identifying wear and tear vs errors.

    Is this quarter stamped off centered? or has it been just heavily worn over the years. besides that, maybe not obvious in the pictures, a smaller circular shape can be seen. But I am thinking to more realistically assuming that maybe its been pinched against a smaller coin for a long period of a time. The pictures were taken in different lighting just to make any difference possibly visible.

    thanks ahead for any help!

    Welcome to the forum!! I think it is just PMD, Post Mint Damage. Looks more scraped in the circle shape. Also, it looks just worn by circulation.
