    I know this one's pretty beat but I was interested in the shape of it. It looked like a broad struck to me, and I also contemplated the potential of a washing machine/dryer coin, but the surfaces on the front and back don't seem to match up like they normally would, along with only part of the obverse being worn around the edges.

    That is not a Broadstruck coin. It is a wonderful example of a damaged coin.

    Studying the minting process is part of the learning curve to collecting errors. After knowing how coins are minted, you can ask yourself questions like: How could this coin been stuck at the mint? If the answer is: It couldn't, then you know it isn't an error.
    Coins are struck in a collar and while a few might be enlarged in diameter, yours isn't, therefore your coin couldn't have been a mint error, so post mint damage.

    No but this is. Please use as a reference to help you identify. The T-1 blank is a type 1 blank planchet for quarters of this year.
