A weird 2014 Minnesota quarter

So I am looking through several circulated quarters of the Minnesota, 2014 double die, when I realized that out of them, one was different. In the image of the state, on the lower right side, there are three distinct impressions, going diagonally towards the Minnesota River. They almost look like teeth bites. Has anyone heard of a print like this? Could this be a misprint?

    I picture is worth a 1000 words. Your description sounds like your coin took at hit from the reeded edge of another coin. However, without seeing the coin, it's a wild guess.

    I am a newer collector (started April 2020), and I primarily focus on U.S. Half Cents and Type Coins. Early copper is my favorite.

    Agree, without a clear photo of both sides, we are just guessing.
    Also coins are not printed, currency is printed, coins are struck or minted.

    It is a hit from the rim of another coin. The moment you said teeth marks it became obvious.

    What's the Minnesota River?

  • Okay. Thanks for the reason for the mark. Is that considered normal wear and tear?

    Here is a picture of Minnesota River on a map of Minnesota, Bajjerfan.

    It's considered DAMAGE.

  • Ok, thank you

    I'm a native of Winona and driven on I-90 many times and never remember crossing it. It must end west of I-35 then?
