2002 D Indiana quarter restricted/clipped planchet?

[In4redKeith]

Lo and behold I threw my 1974 penny in the rather unique pile and this rolled out!
I have done some research and I am still not sure what caused this damage. The obverse (2:00-3:30) and reverse (8:30-10:00) have a restricted/clipped die but the edge reeding is still there and the cladding is pushed to the center. There is also edge damage where the cladding was pushed onto the rim both obverse and reverse and then struck to the center.

In my opinion this was done out side of the mint. Post mint damage. The area could have been exposed to so many different abuses that it's mind boggling.
It may have been exposed to high temperatures, and the use for this is simply unknown.

More than likely this has a much higher chance to be a dented coin than anything else. Even outer coin involved with a "squeeze job".

It's not die related because the image is there all the way around the rim...

It just seems odd to me that a coin could go thru that much abuse on the edge and not lose the full depth of the reeding?

As Gary mentioned, there are countless ways these coins are damaged. This damage is definitely not mint related. I agree with it being dented outside the mint. That reeding does have damage on it though, so the lack of complete loss of the reeding detail could be that it is much thicker than the inside coin fields. The inside gave way first which precluded the edge from complete damage.

I would like to add something here. Please let me know if I am wrong here. The area you are focusing on as a clip, I see reeding on the side of the coin. The reeds are on the collar die and are added when the planchet is struck. A clipped area wouldn't really be pressed against collar and receive the reeds.

Sorry to say that from the pictures, this coin does look clearly damaged, filed/sanded, banged up, etc...

You are absolutely correct. There would be no reeding on a clipped planchet.
