Hello CONECA, I was reviewing some recent purchases and found an interesting 1963 Washington Proof Quarter, It was graded by PCGS PR66 with cert 51817473. It is a Gold Shield and high definition pics are available. The coin has an anomaly at 9 o'clock on the rim which is highly visable. I think it is some kind of planchet faw but really don't know. PCGS grade it so it must not be post mint damage. Thoughts or comments?

In my opinion, it could be a minor partial collar or, a piece of metal from this coin or another was shaved off by the collar and during the strike, as the metal expanded around the collar, it attached to this coin. It would have been great to have a photo of the reeded edge but, this is my guess.Last edited by MintErrors; 11-22-2025, 03:34 AM.

Hello Gary, Thanks for the quick reply. I have taken some close ups of the rim and you are indeed right that changes things immensely. The coin appears reeded all the way around and the anomaly is at the edge of the obverse and the reeding. That explains why it is more visable from the obverse view as opposed to the reverse view in the original pics. Thoughts or comments?Last edited by rbroederer; 11-22-2025, 01:07 PM.Comment
