What Caused This?

Here is my latest CoinStar find, and I have some questions about it? First, what happened to it? Why would someone make such a coin? If I put it on Etsy, what type of error should I ascribe to it LOL? Use your creativity and give me a title that'll make it worth $1,000.

"Superb parking lot find! Truly unique! Run over multiple times by a big, scary dump truck with 8 wheels!”

It may also have been held on grinder for a while. It’s definitely post mint damage.

 

Yep, give it the old toss-a-roo! Maybe you'd have better luck giving it to a wishing well.

 

looks like someone through in the gutter and forgot about....LOL

 

One of a Kind Unique Capped Die Missing Clad Layer!

 

POS

 

For Etsy, "Missing design elements." For reality, I don't think it is a parking lot casualty because the grinding is too even. Parking lot coins have lots of nicks and gouges. It was possibly intentionally worn down on a grinder, as mentioned above, or possibly, intentionally or not, was some kind of spacer under or between heavy objects or equipment. I don't know the internal workings of a CoinStar counter, but it is possible it got stuck there in some turntable for a while before being kicked out.

 

If you put it on ESTY be sure to list it as damaged. Lol

 

Get 3,999 more quarters and you will have $1,000.00

 

What's the weight Mike? that will tell you if it was a grinder or not.
Ps the coin didn't leave the mint looking that way.

 

For Etsy: “Dremel’s-R-Us Anniversary Quarter (finished with diamond dust)”.

 

Send it to ANACS, that's the only second tier TPGS you think exists. LOL.

 

True grit

 

I'll second what Neal said about it having been stuck between moving parts of something.

 

Nah, you're all wrong! That's a real coin in the correct condition as minted by the U.S. Mint...it's titled the "Non-Stewardship" quarter, which didn't do well initially, so they tried to recall them but obviously this one escaped...congrats!!
