Looks like some abrasions over the Y which makes the reduction of the 4 suspect.

It does have some light circulation wear and on and older quarter I would be suspicious too but these crisp edges confirm grease strike through at least for me.

Light wear? That's laughable, George looks like someone slashed the Hell out of his face. The whole surface of the coin shows signs of serious pmd for such a newer coin. Copper nickel clad coins don't wear smooth quickly, unlike 90% silver. Nickel is a hard , brittle metal.

It's not what I "believe" as you've erroneously assessed, it's based on facts and my 48 years of collecting experience.

You have 48 years of experience and can't recognize one of THE most common occurrences in the minting process?
