being new.... I hit the wrong button... pulled this from a 1987-D MS and sent it away to PCGS, looks like maybe a rag? got caught in-between the obverse & Reverse ?!........also the 2 bottom pictures .. when you turn there coin sideways there is a shadow......
Your coin has been severely wire brushed and has no value beyond face.
How much in PCGS fees etc did you spend on that item?
ouch that had to smart the wallet
I actually thought it was spray painted. Probably only ~$100 in tuition
Why ask us when you were told by PCGS their opinion that you paid for?

He's asking if it is a strike through because he's claiming to have pulled it out of a Mint Set.

Interesting scenario. Once you take a coin out of a mint set, can you ever demonstrate that's where it came from? If you find something odd, perhaps you should leave it in the set until you can get solid confirmation regarding what you have?
Yikes, that looks like a quarter I recently pulled out of an Aldi shopping cart.
If it was a piece of rag or cloth there would be a textile pattern visible, which your example does not have. The surfaces were heavily damaged by a wire brush and that is why PCGS called it altered surfaces and not an error.
Here is one I did with a rotary wire brush.
I call false on you pulling it out of a mint set looking like that. Perhaps you pulled it from an after-market set, and even then I do not think I would believe it. The coin is worth nothing more than $0.25.
That was my thought as well.
This thread makes baby Jesus cry.
Easily $100+. Considering the OP probably paid the Mint Error price, which is $65.00. Plus shipping to and from. Cheap tuition only if the OP is truly trying to learn.
It's a keeper for your collection.... to remind you of the cost of education. We all learn from our mistakes.

Sadly, it isn't even a candidate for the Sunday bourse "cheap slabs" box. Value is 25 cents.
It could be a possibility, but I doubt it especially since it looks like @ifthevamzarockin post right below my original post.
