[QUOTE="JCro57, post: 4687856, member: 92083"]Absolutely post-Mint damage. Definitely not a weak strike. A weak strike should still have strong rims that were formed before the strike during the upsetting process. They would not be flattened as a result of a weaker-than-normal strike. That makes no sense. Look above the word STATES on the obverse. No way a weak strike would do that. Weak strikes also have very weak edge reeding. The poster's quarter has strong reeding that is seen despite not seeing the edge directly. It also is not a grease-filled die as that doesn't affect the rims either. Look at this heavy grease-filled die on a cent. Strong rims despite almost no design. [ATTACH=full]1153094[/ATTACH] The answer is the quarter was altered. We don't have to prove how it was altered. You have to prove it is an error, and I have proved why it is neither a greaser or a weak strike.[/QUOTE]
