So a couple of days ago, as I was roll searching (mostly just for silver), and I heard a strange ping when I tossed a handful of coins into the reject pile. After searching back through, I discovered a 1989-P quarter that showed strike weakness on both sides and was rather thin. I weighed it (4.353g) to confirm it is dime stock! My assessment is it’s XF, but there’s counting wheel damage on the 3 o’clock obverse (shame!). Are any of you particularly familiar with this error and what its value might bring? My guess is $100-200. Feel free to share your own quarter on dime stock! All photos are the same coin, I just have a poor camera setup. @mikediamond @paddyman98 @Paddy54
Haha, for those who are unfamiliar with the term stock: https://www.error-ref.com/wrong_stk_correct_comp___87-p_nick_on_clad_qtr_/
@Seattlite86 it took me a second to catch on that you meant the sheet the planchet came from and not the planter itself. Very cool!! A great catch from the wild…
Neat find Seattlite. I always thought that these were found mostly on early clad quarters. The weight is right for dime stock though. Fairly rare to find one from 89'?
My understanding is it’s pretty rare, considering the late year. I just don’t know approximate value.
It's both a rare date and a rare mintmark for this sort of error. The vast majority of dime stock quarters hail from the Denver Mint.
Thank you so much for the feedback! Considering it has counting wheel damage, do you think it fair to value it between $150-200?
Hard to say. Wrong stock errors, rolled-thin errors, and rolled-thick errors have seen a steep drop in prices over the last 10 years.
They stuck him in there crooked! Ugh. That would always bug me if it were mine. Still great to have, though. I'm going to have to give the 89 quarters I come across a closer look from now on. One of these days I want to get a 1970-D if I can find one at a decent price.
I will have to ask them if they do the weight. I assumed it would go on there (even put it in the submission info).
