harrym Posted December 31, 2014 Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 I recently found an incredibly odd quarter when searching through my coins. It is a 1973 D Washington quarter in a reasonably well preserved condition. However the letter 'R' is engraved on Washington's head. Now I've scoured the internet to try and identify this quarter, but so far I've found no match. This leads me to believe I'm in possession of an extremely rare quarter. Ill attach images. I just need help identifying and getting the possible worth of this quarter. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jokerman Posted December 31, 2014 Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 I guess this is done later. If so that leaves the quarter worthless (except for face value). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art1.2 Posted December 31, 2014 Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 It's an "R" that has been punched into the head. I've seen many coins with this type of marking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Wuller Posted December 31, 2014 Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 you could just take joy in the unusual look, if it should be worth anything (which goes for any coin, imo) that is an added bonus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommyd Posted December 31, 2014 Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 You're right Jeff, it may be (and is) really only worth a quarter, but I'll bet there's a story that goes with that punch! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corina Posted November 25, 2019 Report Share Posted November 25, 2019 what you have is what is called a Post mint damaged coin which means someone after the coin was minted pressed the R into the coin worth 25 cents Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
