I'm not a coin collector, just had a quick few questions. My girlfriend works at a bank and found a coin which was a " 2005 Minnesota state quarter clad layer missing on obverse. We did a little research about it and found out its worth a little. We sent it to NGC and had it graded, more to prove it is real than condition. (I've heard these can be counterfeited) I also found out it is a more rare error clad layer due to the mint only produced 4888,000,000 Minnesota compared to most states with a production of over 1,000,000,000. Does that sound correct? I have it on ebay right now bit was also wondering what its probably worth. It had a MS-62 grading, which I know is on the low side. Thanks much. Chris
Howdy Chris - Welcome to teh Forum !! Values for these coins are all over the place.It could range anywhere from $50 to $500.
Thanks guys. Its really nice to find a thread with out a bunch of 12 year olds talking about there bowel movements. I'm sure once my auction ends on the coin I will find out the value. It makes me wonder how rare this coin could be though.
Congrat your girlfriend on finding that coin. It could pay for a fancy dinner for the two of you. :eat: :eat: :eat: :eat: -Rob
Rarity often has little to do with value. What matter is how many people want one and how much they are willing to pay. If you check the auction records for these coins you will find that the very same coin in the same grade can sell for over $500 one day and $58 a month later.
Pretty close Mike. $356.50 :bow: Now how much can I get for my 2005 proof buffalo nickel with a strike-through on the reverse after it is slabbed. And I don't mean grease. I mean a piece of metal or some other solid object? Hum?
