2019 “War in the Pacific” Quarter – Multi-Error? Strike-Through, Doubling, and Copper Tint

Hi everyone,

I found this 2019 America the Beautiful “War in the Pacific” quarter that seems to have multiple mint errors:

Obverse strike-through (possible grease-filled die)

Apparent doubling on select lettering and design elements

Copper tint/exposed core – possible missing outer clad layer

I’ve attached:

Full obverse

Full reverse

Close-up of error area

I’m trying to determine:

Are these genuine mint errors or post-mint damage?

If genuine, what type(s) of error would this be classified as?

Would this be worth sending to PCGS/NGC for error attribution?

Any insight from experienced error collectors would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance,
Aaron Nicholson

    You have a dirty, stained, damaged coin. Unlike the misinformation on the web It's tough enough to find an actual error in your pocket change, chance of finding one with multiple errors is almost zero.

    You've come to the right place to learn. We all start somewhere. However, as indicated it is not a mint error. Damaged, likely buried for a while.

    Just a badly damaged quarter.
