    Sorry for the bad picture.

    Details:

    Maryland Quarter normal front.
    Backside rim has a missing/lower rim then the other parts of the rim
    12 to 3 is lower then the rest.

    Value?

    I added two pictures. The one with two coins, the left one is a normal one and the right one is the errored

    Definitely not a cud.

    Minor misaligned die is my guess, although it's tough to tell for sure without an image of the obverse. Take a look at the almost nonexistent rim at 1:00 on the reverse, directly opposite the larger rim at 7:00, and you'll see what I'm talking about. A slightly off-center strike is also a possibility. The obverse of the coin will tell you which it is -- if the obverse is centered, it's a misaligned die; if the obverse is not centered, the coin was struck off-center.

    It's probably worth its face value only, as this error is very minor. If any of the design were actually missing, the coin would bring a premium.
