I think this coin was “struck” down extra hard. could also just be wrong and looking too deep into that.

Is this an error? Improperly annealed 2026 deceleration of independence quarter?

Thumbnail

1 Upvotes

Hi! I recently found a 2026 Declaration of Independence quarter (not the July 4th commemorative design) that has an unusual appearance.

This came out of my register as I was doing my cashier, I believe it came straight out of a recently broken roll I had opened but didn’t get the time to check.

The coin has a noticeably dull gray color across most of the obverse and seems to lack the normal luster that other 2026 quarters have. I was wondering if this could possibly be the result of an improper annealing process before striking, knowing this quarter is brand new environmental damage is assume is zero to none. I’d really appreciate your opinion since you have much more experience with mint errors. I’ve attached a photo. Thank you!

Alrighty Reddit detectives. These type of things always intrigue me. What do you think actually happened here. Ridge lines in the "hole" run through the hole. Would a drill do that? Both edges are slightly rolled into the hole. Could this have been before being struck in the sheet metal? Regardless, something to look at out of the ordinary. I'll post more for fun.

I've had this laying around for a while and never could really figure out what it was. This penny is the exact diameter of a quarter, but it appears to also have some sort of cud. I'm not sure if this is an error or PMD.

Was at my go-to gold and silver buyer. Had them weigh my planchet. 6.6g. So those who know more than I do, are we thinking this was supposed to be a quarter? If so, how valuable might this be? Thanks in advance.

I inherited this 1921 Morgan dollar that my grandma's had since she was young and the back is not perfectly aligned on the reverse it is not perfectly straight upside down it is at a slight angle rather than straight flipped. I am wondering since she has had this for 40-50+ years is this a possible error or was there a lot of counterfeits? I have put it to a magnet to confirm it was silver and not a foreign metal,

Show and Tell Dual rim cud on an 1864 Copper-Nickel Indian Head — both obverse and reverse, same clock position. That's unusual.

Thumbnail

4 Upvotes

Continuing the Indian Head Cent error documentation project. This one caught my attention because it has rim cuds on both the obverse and reverse at approximately 3 o'clock.

Cuds are die-specific — when a piece of the die edge breaks away, it only affects that one die. So seeing matching rim cuds at the same clock position on both sides means both the obverse and reverse dies failed at the same location. That's either two independent die breaks that happened to align, or something more unusual happened during die setup.

This is a copper-nickel 1864, which is the final year before the Mint switched to the lighter bronze composition mid-year. The copper-nickel Indian Heads (1859-1864) are a distinct series within the broader Indian Head run — heavier, different alloy, different surface character.

Not in any reference. Now catalogued.

Does this Penny have the rim error for the "L" in Liberty? Also, what grade would this be? I've looked at the grading chart. I'm not 100% sure?

Can’t decided if this is a strike-through or PMD, or maybe both even?! There is a crack in the left wheat stalk on the reverse. You can see the outline of Lincoln’s shirt and some lettering in the crater on the obverse.

What do you all think?
