<p>[QUOTE="Anti, post: 2881111, member: 90552"]Hey guys, I've been handling this coin for a few days now and it has a strange feel to it. On most other quarters I've handled it has clear indentations for all the shapes, grooves or other designs minted onto the coin. This coin however, feels unusually smooth. "United States of America" for instance on the top of the face-side does not appear to be raised.. but instead flat. I cannot feel the letters on the coin, including on the bottom for "Liberty" "In God we Trust" or "Quarter Dollar" or "P" for its mint type. Along the outer edges of the coin, that jagged pattern around it is perfectly smooth where the copper finish is. On the picture-side, again it is smooth with the words "Grand Canyon" "Arizona" "E Plurus Unum" and "2010" darkened, sort of black. Does this sound like machine damage, or is this a possible mint error?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
