Re: 1983 d quarter with random D on it
Thanks for posting images of both sides of the coin.
It is more likely to be Post Strike Damage (PSD) or a stain.
I'm not 100% sure, but this might be what could technically be referred to as struck through grease. (A "Dropped" letter fits in this category, I believe).
Sometimes grease gets on the die and fills some device or design. Normally this shows up as missing designs (or letters/numbers) on a coin. Occasionally this grease falls out ("Dropped") and can land on a planchet before it is struck by the dies. When this happens it usually creates an incuse (recessed) impression on the coins surface.
I cannot tell from your images if the area in question is raised, recessed or neither. (Neither would indicate a stain to me.)
I hope my desription is more helpful than confusing!

This is post mint damage if it was a dropped letter it would be the same shape and size of a letter from this coin.

Re: 1983 d quarter with random D on it
Thanks D. I thought it was similar in size to a D from the reverse but maybe distorted from being struck by the die.
But now that I'm picturing it in my mind (dropping a letter), it would be difficult for a dropped letter from the reverse (bottom die) to "jump" up onto the obverse (top) side of a planchet prior to being struck.
(Out of curiosity what years has the mint had the reverse as the hammer die?)

Re: 1983 d quarter with random D on it
The reverse is always the hammer die and I don't know of any exceptions.
Re: 1983 d quarter with random D on it
i added another pic of it. it is recessed . i found it in my coin jar.
Re: 1983 d quarter with random D on it
i also measured it with calipers idk if that matters but it matched the D on other side as close as i could . 1.52mm wide 1.74mm tall. if that matters.

Not sure if the info in the link is actually relevant to this coin but sheds some light on inverted dies.
