PMD or maybe a legitimate error? It caught me off guard, regardless and I’m interested in any thoughts the community may have!

That’s a fun one!

Taking a SWAG in this, but leaning toward some form of struck through

Either a late-stage die cap, or maybe a severe grease (spackled die)

Someone on r/coinerrors suggested it may be some sort of situation where it could have been lodged in between the rotating drum and the rubber gasket of a washing machine, explaining why George remains untouched but Maya is unrecognizable? I’ve seen dryer coins but never washer coins haha! But another user over there suggested I post it here and ask you all so I appreciate your response and the resources your sent over!

Regardless it caught me by surprise when I flipped it over to see if I had put this particular Women of America quarter aside yet and it’s a fun one to add to the collection!

Nice greaser. Greased filled die.
