This quarter has three perfect arcs. There is one on the left side and two on the right. What could this be worth?
I know pretty much nothing about error coins. So is what you mentioned something that would have happened at the mint?
Not necessarily. Banks will roll the coins as most likely they are delivered in bags to the bank from the mint, not delivered in rolls for the circulated coinage.
Well, to clarify, in the mint the split second after the coin is struck is considered mint state. Any damage after that, be it in hoppers at the mint, the truck on the way to the bank, coin rolling machines in the bank, or in circulation, are all considered post mint damage. I don't "get" error coin collecting, probably because I spend most of my time looking for ancients that DON'T have errors, but I do think they are fun and respect those who collect them. Chris
You have to differentiate between damage and errors occurring during the minting process. Coins rolled at the Mint, are not a minting process, they are an after-minting process and the OP's coin damage occurred during the rolling process. Errors occur during the actual production of the coin itself, during the production of the planchets, blanks, and/or being struck.
