Hi Agnes. It looks to me like it is post mintage damage. Also sometimes coins can have a weak strike causing some letters to look weak a smudged while others are more clear. If it's anything besides PMD , it might be die stress. Either way it's nothing big. Post mint damage. Thanks everybody. I am new at this and just wondered what was going on with this coin. Sincerely, Agnes. I thought it almost looked like a cast counterfeit, but not sure who would bother to counterfeit your basic clad Washington quarter.
Who knows with this coin? I 'll hold on to this coin. There is very faint "D" by Washington's ponytail it is not showing in the picture. How do I know if it is a real coin? Should I take it to a coin dealer? Should the authorities become aware of such coin circulating? Quote: There is very faint "D" by Washington's ponytail it is not showing in the picture. Who knows.
Richard S. Cooper Some have asked about my images I use and I'm glad to say, you can now you can see the DVD in sections on youtube: 1. Canadian Coin Values. China Coin Values.

He has written several books on mint errors and consults with the major third-party certification companies to authenticate error coins. The U. Secret Service inspected and released this collection to the State of California, determining that it was legal to own. The State of California then auctioned the collection, and it has been dispersed since the sale. Although nobody knows for sure how this coin was made, there is a lot of speculation.
Since the United States does not make Canadian coins, the only way a thirty-year-old coin could enter the United States Mint facility is with some help from the inside. This quarter is not the only a bizarre S Proof Washington quarter made at the facility.
There is also a specimen struck on a Barber quarter , and one struck on a twenty-five centavos piece from the Philippines. Those familiar with the minting process at the United States Mint in San Francisco, have commented that it is impossible for coins like these to "accidentally" entered the minting process. Therefore, although it is only speculation, it is thought to have been minted by some unscrupulous mint employees.
Regardless of how this coin came into existence, we are confident that this rare and expensive coin is highly sought after by collectors of United States error coins.
Collectors seeking an uncirculated specimen can acquire one for a few dollars from their favorite coin dealer. Specimens minted at the San Francisco mint were specially made for collectors who purchased Proof Sets and can also be acquired for just a few dollars. In fact, an entire set of S Proof coins can be bought for under ten dollars. A few high-grade specimens have been certified and sold at auction for record prices.
