Hi- I have a 1958 D quarter that has a stamping error on the reverse side. It has a couple of leaves stamped on one leg of the eagle and the "quarter dollar" stamp is over another stamp that was obviously misaligned then you can see the shadow markings of the misaligned stamp as well. I was looking all over the place to get an idea of the value, but can not locate any thing. Can someone give me an idea of the value?
I think the first thing you should be asking is if it's really an error. So far it sounds like Post Mint Damage - PMD.. Maybe the markings off of another Quarter being pressed against it? Pictures will help to determine this.
thank you for your response. I will look into getting a clear upclose pic to post as soon as I can (couple of days) My other question is what is a PMD? old quarter being stamped with a newer one?
The folks here LOVE acronyms, and you'll see a lot of them that take a lot of time to figure out. PMD (one of the favorites here) means Post Mint Damage - damage that happened after the coin left the Mint.

I gave you the response in post #3 But I will explain better.. Your quarter is a soft silver metal. Sometimes someone will intentionally squeeze another coin against it to leave an impression. Usually a backwards image. But if you post a picture we can better tell what a verdict could be.
They might be standard but when a new member, such as the OP (Original Poster - one you left off the list) who is probably unfamiliar with the jargon, asks a question it might be helpful to spell out what is meant. I doubt that anyone here is so rushed for time that that would be an onerous effort. Especially when referring to Snow, Breen, Wexler, Van Allen Mallis, et.al. who few new collectors are familiar with. Many times the abbreviated responses only lead to a page or two of back and forth before comprehension is achieved. I've been around for a few years and I don't know what half the acronyms are. You also left off TPG.
i did not leave out any as i did not make the list, i just copied it off another thread from a year or so ago...as was stated...
Hi, On the reverse of the quarter is the eagle normally upside-down in comparison with the head of Washington?
