2000 D Massachusetts State Quarter error? 0

I thought it was damage due to circulation but then I gave a closer look. I'm no expert by far but I do a lot of research to obtain as much knowledge as I can on currency. Other than music, I love and find coin collecting enjoyable and therapeutic.

Welcome to the forum.  No way to say how it got damaged, but that is all it is.  There is now way anything like that could happen during the minting process.

Thank you for the welcome. I appreciate the second opinion. The damage seemed odd to me as I've seen many coins damaged and I toss them back. Thank you for your information and observations.

Hey Mike, I love music and coins for the very same reason.  Im brand new to the site, but have investigated errors for about 5 years now.  I'm afraid I would have to agree with Cutler on this one.  There is no way to tell for sure, but I can recall seeing an error in a numismatic textbook that I seem to recall sharing similar properties.  My first reaction would be a collar-break, but it doesn't quite fit the criteria.  You've got a very fascinating coin there!  Good luck identifying it.

Sorry, but that does not look like a mint error. Looks like an abused coin. Worth 25 cents, unless it gets rejected by a vending machine or Coinstar machine. In that instance, it is worth zip.

Yea, I have to go with damage also. Looks like it got mangled up in something.
