!776-1976D Bi Cennn quarter- Is this an error or a "dryer" case etc.

Only on the Rev as the Obv seems to be normal wear.

I cannot think of an way this could happen in the minting process, so I vote damage by hooligan. I would of course wait for Mike's word though...

Thanks Jason!


Not sure either if this could be a weak strike or been in a dryer etc.

A weak strike impacts the whole coin and the force placed upon the collar as well - that is not seen here - only the reverse has been impacted. I cannot figure out how a filled die would look like this, so I stick with PSD until someone with more knowledge says different.

The affected areas on the reverse were ground off or otherwise mechanically removed outside the Mint.
