I bought a box of State quarters and found this roll with at least one planchet or partial planchet. I was curious if it is worth anything and if it has more value in the roll or not? Thanks in advance for the help.
Is the whole roll Missouri State quarters? If so, I would send the whole roll in to be graded. That way it can be determined as a Missouri State quarter error coin. Not sure how much that's worth, but getting it documented would be good. However, if it's just a roll of various circulated quarters, I'm not sure how that would work.
Then I suggest you keep it in that roll for a "Missouri" designation on the roll slab if you do decide to get it certified. -Brian
I doubt that PCGS or NGC would designate that as a "blank" Missouri Statehood Quarter regardless of how it was submitted. It's simply a blank Type 1 or Type 2 quarter planchet.
I have seen the TPG certify a planchet as being a certain state quarter or certain president dollar if the entire unopened roll is submitted for grading. You might have to pay for the grading of the entire roll though. And you would probably have to pay the Mint Error fee as well.
Question: That's a bank wrapped roll, How do you know it's all Missouri quarters without opening the roll? Also, to me this looks like a metal slug that I've made a thousand times. Can you tell if the slug/planchet has reeding or not?
There is one possible scenario where it might not be a good idea to open the roll. If it hasn't gone through the upsetting mill, then it is considered a blank rather than a planchet. It is harder to prove that it actually is a quarter blank if you submit it by itself. If you do decide to submit it without removing it from the roll, you would probably have to make special arrangements with the grading service you decide to use. You need to determine what procedure you need to follow to have them authenticate ONLY the blank/planchet and return all of the remaining quarters without grading. Of course, it may be possible that the roll could contain another blank/planchet. (Wishful thinking!) Chris
If it infact were a blank planchet, I would say it is a good idea to have it certified, especially since it is still in mint state condition and hasn't even been removed from it's original roll it may grade high enough for that error to be a "registry coin" (even though there is no registry for errors). It could bring a serious premium if it is one of the highest graded blank state quarter planchets. -Brian
An unstruck planchet will not be reeded. It will have been through the upset mill, but reeding is completed in the coin press by the collar die.
I diasgree. Firstly this is not an original FED wrapper. Secondly blank quarter planchets are very common and the people who collect them don't really care what grade they are. You would spend more on grading fees then the coins worth.
