Second post with high magnification picture of an “error.” You need to post pictures showing the entire side (both) also. These types of “mint errors” don't exist as they would have to be from a damaged/defective die and there would be 10s of thousands made and would be well known after 20 years. Before I call it post mint damage (PMD) I'd like to see the other pictures.
I sent pictures of front and back of Kansas quarter. I spent a lot of time trying to get the clearest pictures. If you need more let me know. My microscope won't show the whole coin, ugh. I can send certain parts of coins if you need.
Hey, another thing, what exactly are you looking for in regards to post mint damage in regards to the Kansas coin. Maybe I can look as well using the microscope. This is a learning experience for me. :)
If by shadow horn you mean the top picture then it's just an artifact of the lighting. It's not there in the bottom picture. The arrow in the bottom picture is just damage to the coin, easy to see in this picture:
No I don't mean where the arrows are. It would be fun to talk to you in person. I am glad I have someone to talk to. I will see if I can send you other pictures. The circle, i don't think would have touched the shadow horns.
So I sent the picture of the dark horns behind original horns. The circle you pointed earlier doesn't touch the area where the dark horns are. Maybe it is unique as I have looked at some things and there are certain coins that no on knew existed. Idk.
I answered that, too. If by shadow horn you mean the top picture then it's just an artifact of the lighting. It's not there in the bottom picture. The bottom picture at the time being this one.
Close-up:
Not part of the coin other than a rub mark, lighting effect, etc. Just happens to have the horn shape.
The statement "your coin would have multiple copies if it was unique" is incorrect. In fact, the opposite is generally true. Unique coins are rare precisely because there aren't many (or any) copies of them. The more unique a coin, the less likely it is to have duplicates. A "unique" coin would be one-of-a-kind, and therefore any copies would be fakes or replicas, not originals.
I believe you said that if my coin had the duplicate horns and was an error there would be a lot of others out there. Maybe, maybe not; you have nice, then very rude, not sure why. I don't believe anyone has seen this type of effect on this coin. Maybe it is post mint damage or some anomaly but maybe don't be rude to people.
The picture you said didn't show the duplicate horns. Maybe it is post damage, but you are rude and don't understand why they let people like you to be rude to people that are just trying to learn and appreciate the history and all the errors and other things that go along with looking at coins.
I wasn't being rude or arrogant. I was just trying to help you to understand why you didn't have a mint error.
The statement "your coin would have multiple copies if it was unique" is incorrect. I never made that statement or anything similar to multiple copies. Why would you put it in quotes pretending I did?

I guess I assumed, based on this comment, that you believe that there is no way it could be a mint error because there aren't any others that have been found.
I am new to this like I said before, but I don't understand how this could be post mint damage. The duplicat horns can be seen in the front of the coin picture I sent. But I am probably wrong. I am gonna work to hopefully find a few more coins before I seems it in for evaluation.
