2016 P Fort Moultrie South Carolina State Quarter error

[OhioDeb]

I have a 2016 P Fort Moultrie South Carolina State Quarter that the hat on the man has barely an emblem. Need a magnifying glass to see it. Little off on the detail in the rocks. There is a nick above the hat in the rim. The George Washington head is not detailed. There are scratches near his back hair and also under the ty in Liberty. They do not cross Washington's head. On the other side, the scratches come off the flag. The UNUM word is dark. The D and S in United States is off color. Like skidded on. So I only see one error for this coin on ebay. Extra ontop the hat. I don't have money to register this or anything. Any suggestions? Hold it and see if it comes up? sell it on ebay? What do you think?

no answers without a photo, like asking for surgery without visiting a doctor

Plus it's not a state quarter. Sounds like either wear or struck through grease.

I couldn't get a clear pic. Guess I will just hold on to it.

you will see those "stretch marks" on many of the issues with the inset ring on the reverse where the date & motto are pressed. my feel is just metal fatigue

I believe you are correct that the coin suffered from a Die that had metal fatigue (Die Deterioration)! Also, it appears that some Mint employee may have gotten a little too rambunctious in grinding and polishing the Dies when doing repairs. Circulation wear can also be factored in as well.
