    @potty dollar 1878. Your first post is correct. You will learn more by doing a little research instead of asking someone to validate your opinion. This is from error-ref.com

    http://www.error-ref.com/ Open the link and where it says "search this website" enter a term and hit enter on your keyboard. You'll find it's much more fun doing research. (At least it is for me). :)
    Edit. Please don't take this the wrong way. If you do need help, always ask. Most members are more than willing to help.

    I don't even understand what you are stating.

    Grease Filled die is a worn die issue. No premium for such a small issue..
    The letter R was not fully formed when the blank planchet was struck because part of the incused letter R was filled with compacted grease. It's a common issue. Not a die flaw.

    I tried to translate that but my attempt was Ubiquitous . I heard flaw flaw , flap flap or something . then double stamped ? You mean double struck ?
    I @paddyman98 solve it though .

    I'm gonna be "that guy".
    Ok so, two folks on here called this a silver quarter. How do you KNOW it's silver from the picture? It has an S mint mark but depending on the date it could also be either of the clad S mint marked quarters, the proof, or the S uncirculated.

    So does the surface if that quarter look like a proof coin?

    Please don't take this the wrong way. If you do need help, always ask. Most members are more than willing to help. :woot:
    (in case playful sarcasm doesn't go over well on a website, to be clear I'm joking here. but I am serious on the subject matter, It's not silver, It's not a proof)

    -As a S mint clad uncirculated strike quarter, $1-$2. some of them are harder than others and can sell for up to $5 depending on the mintage and design.

    -With the grease filled die strike, in general if selling something like that on ebay, can add up to $5 to sold price, but more like an extra buck or two, and will depend on interest at the time it's for sale, but it will push the price up a bit more than a coin that isn't a grease filled die strike. some bigger more dramatic greasers or catchy names can generate interest. Like the "In God We Rust" quarters that have a grease filled T in Trust 2005 Kansas state quarter, which can go for $4-$$15. That particular one has some hype to it though, and it's not representative for all grease filled die struck coins, it's an outlier.

    I am looking at the A and the M . The A has the right side missing and there is a little piece at the foot of the M that would fit the top part of the A. Damage from a hit could do that. Photo is insufficient to judge. Damage is the most likely I suspect. IMO, Jim

    When I saw grease filled die I was looking for more than a problem with the R in America. Interesting issue with the coin. I would keep it as an interesting piece.
