Clad Washington Quarter MINT ERROR • Officially Cancelled Waffled Blank Planchet • Ungraded MS (Mint State)

A cancelled waffled coin is a rejected U.S. Mint coin or planchet that has been intentionally defaced, crushed, and distorted by a machine, creating a distinct, corrugated "waffle" pattern.

Introduced around 2003–2004, this process destroys the coin's denomination, allowing it to be recycled for metal without a security escort
