<p>[QUOTE=&quot;forkless, post: 936192, member: 23719&quot;]I&#039;m not sure what the exact cause is, but I can say that this type of error seems to be extremely common, especially on quarters. I&#039;ve come across hundreds of quarters like this throughout the state quarter program and even some recent nickels with the same type of marks. </p><p><br /></p><p>Since they seem to be very common I&#039;ve just been treating them like poor strikes or damaged coins and spending them. </p><p><br /></p><p>I dug through my spending change dish and pulled out Kansas quarter with the same problem on the reverse. My crappy photo kind of makes it look like a bad scuff mark or scratches, but it&#039;s definitely not post mint damage. It looks more like part of the planchet flaked off, or (more likely) a glob of grease or something was on the die.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
