+1 I don't see any error at all. Can you help us understand what you think you see? Also, if you are searching for errors, it is best that you first learn what errors are and what they look like. It's much easier to spot an error as the list of "non-errors" is endless. Here's a great resource: www.error-ref.com Start with the basics: Doubled Die Cud Repunched mint mark (RPM) Off-center Die chips improper alloy mixture Rotated Die Die clash Misaligned Die Once you learn what errors are and how they form, you'll save yourself tons of time looking at circulation wear and damaged coins. Very few people actually find errors on coins, but much fewer people find them who don't know what they're looking for. I appreciate your interest in error coins, but if you're not going to study up on errors, you're going to spend a lot of wasted time on coins that aren't errors. We're here to help
First, welcome to the neighborhood, Jessica! I'm not sure if I have already acknowledged your presence on CT. Also, I'm not sure what you think the error might be. Could it be that the lower half of the rim on the reverse is a bit wider than the upper half? If so, it would typically be called a misaligned die (MAD). Chris
Welcome to CT On the Front / Obverse, you'll notice that line going around just the inside of the rim/edge. That is from a coin rolling machine. It was an outside quarter at one time when put in those paper/cardboard tubes and the machines' paper roller scraped against it and created that line around it (this could have occurred multiples time, we don't know). It damaged all the letters around the edge too as you can see. Most people ignore learning about damage. AS more than likely you'll find damaged coins and not "errors". As you learn more about errors you'll also learn what should be damaged. The hardest part of all of this is being unbiased, as most ppl desire and want their coin to be an error and thus sometimes fail to learn. People tend to forget that coins are made for commerce, and go through many processes that damage them (check your purse or pocket change for examples). Also, since coins are metal, they all corrode/surface changes color just like your car does if it was not painted.
I have two Massachusetts first print quarters, both have double tts but missing the complete spelling of Massachusetts. The tts is intack, would they still have value? I also have a steel 1943 D penney, all are in perfect condition, what value might they have if any?
