    not a mint error. Badly damaged.

    Llamas and alpacas are camels. They aren't like camels, or related. They are camels. When was anyone going to tell me this?! How long had Bill Nye been holding out on us?

    This coin was originally a perfectly normal quarter, when it left the mint. This coin has since been hit, dozens of times, by a not-very-sharp object. Exactly how and why this happened will remain a mystery, because there are multiple possible explanations, ranging from "it got caught in a garden mulcher or some similar kind of machinery" to "somebody really hated George Washington and wished to protest against him by smashing something against his portrait on a quarter until it was unrecognizable". However, none of the possible explanations involve anything that could be classified as a "mint error".

    It's just damage, and not a mint error.
