1966 Washington Quarter with metal bumps

This is another interesting find from my rolls of coins I buy at the bank. I am pretty sure this is not PMD. The metal balls/bumps go all the way through the coin. I appreciate your helping me to identify errors as opposed to PMD.

I can not say what happened to this but my first thought was that it looked like someone set it up for a BB gun target.

Too funny. It amazes me what people will do to money. Thank you for your input.

What ever did this happened outside of the mint.

Agreed 55+ years later, this hole would have been filled with crud. The area does not look like strike through's, they look like drill holes to me, from what I can see.

It is funny, but with that said, with the billions of coins minted and many of those being copper/zinc covered with a shiny clad layer, what ever happened to a coin during an individual’s possession of it (unless completely destroyed) it will always have at least the value it was minted to be worth when one uses it to buy a cup of coffee. It would be a lot different if coins were weighed and chop marks stamped into it to verify the value to perform a trade. Good hunting!
