In reply to Antonio. That's probably it. That explains it.

In reply to Jeff Legan. Apparently it's common according to the article I read, I think it was in Coin World magazine. It's just they're not getting caught and coins are entering circulation this way. Quality control isn't what it used to be. Just pay me, I don't care about doing my job.

I think the A.E. Neuman presidential medal comes out just after the Pat Paulsen presidential medal.

In reply to Antonio. Sure seems like there are a lot of quality control issues at the Mint lately. Or are these "retained cuds" more common than I realize?

In reply to Rooster. I didn’t catch this until you mentioned it here.

Speaking of insane, With his eagle eyes, Florida collector Clark Davis found 14 2022-P Wilma Mankiller quarter dollars in the American Women series exhibiting a progressive retained cud on the George Washington obverse.
Clark is a Young Numismatist all of 10 years of age.
A retained cud occurs when a portion of the die face adjacent to the rim breaks off but is held in position. A raised area of design features may appear in that area on the struck coin.
A retained cud becomes a full cud if the broken portion of the die falls away, creating a larger void in the die into which metal flows during striking, resulting in a blob-like, featureless raised area of metal on the coins the die strikes.

Kaiser, these medals look like silver replicas of the bronze presidential ones they made years ago. At least the coin boxes they come in are nice.

Did this just happen. I am hit and miss with these but all the ones I have are the pipe and tomahawk.

Don’t give the Mint any ideas. How about state animals? State flowers. State birds. State minerals. State drinks….
