1983 P Quarter with many rare errors on the reverse and obverse or no?

Hello everyone. As you may know I am very new to this site. Coin collecting is a very new interest of mine and I have little knowledge as of yet so I'm hoping to get some insight on this quarter. It seems to have many errors that I havent seen anywhere in my online search. I have uploaded microscopic pics of everything. The first shows the obverse side where the mint letter 'P' is not hollowed out as it should be. The others show the reverse side. The U.N.I. in "UNITED" are connected to one another. All the A's (in the words "STATES" "AMERICA" "QUARTER" and "DOLLAR") are not hollowed out. Two of the A's have a slight and off-centered indentation and the others are solid. Has anybody seen this before? Does anyone know how this happens? Any information would be appreciated. Thank you in advance!

All damage.. Circulation wear and tear

Nothing rare IMHO

 

Do you have a picture of the entire quarter, front and back?

It kinda looks like excessive wear on it. ie, PMD.

 

Probably started life with a worn die. The rest looks like PMD ( post mint damage) from circulation.

 

Please. Stop.

 

Oops sorry it didn't show anyone had responded on my end so I gave it my 2 cents.

 

No, I meant the OP needs to stop. C'mon, people, damage does not equal errors. 1983 quarters were made by the gazillion, from badly overused dies, and with next to no concern for QA.

Add to that 35 years banging around in commerce, and well...

 

Stop? What do you mean by this? I had first stated I'm new to this and forgive me for feeling as if wear and tear should'nt fill in a space if that makes sense but this is my second post on here and I've encountered some coin forum nazi's both times. Some of you are so damn rude and it makes no damn sense! I'll find a new forum with individuals that don't mind educating
newcomers!!! Have a blessed day!

 

Essentially, people are not using common sense in relation to coinage. As coinage is used in commerce; used daily, is worn and torn and scraped and hammered and damaged. Many people think since it has scrapes, scratches, numbers/letters pushed, etc that it must be a mint error.

 

Yes, and that’s not some mysterious specialized insider knowledge; it’s just background knowledge any functioning human needs to have.

That sounded judgmental.
No your coin does not have errors.
You're not allowed to curse.

 

I am so done with playing nice-nice with idiots.

When I first started with coins in 1963, a 35 year old coin was dated 1928. Do you SERIOUSLY believe any worn and beaten to death 1928 coin ANYONE was asking if it was an error???? Come on! The whole error coin meme is just so stinking SICK!!! Being “new at this” is no excuse for a lack of common sense.

 

They're RARE errors to boot.

 

You're TRYING to "trigger" me, ain'tcha?

 

Yes.

 

@V. Kurt Bellman I think you should put SRA in your custom title.

 

When I first got into coins, the first or second thing I wanted to learn is how these things are made, and I studied it, and I bugged my old man to see the Philly Mint. But then, there was no YouTube, or "Striking it Rich with Pocket Change", or any "Cherrypicker's Guide" to inflame people's passions about a get rich quick scheme, so I guess there's that.

 

SRA ? Wait, I see it.

And I am of course joking...
