I see no "random letters". Only hits and dings from normal wear and tear. Certainly nothing as a result of the minting process.
Pareidolia. As an aside... there's really no need for cotton gloves when handing circ CN coins, but if it makes you feel better, I suppose there's no harm either.

Okay little miss attitude, then why don't you educate us because what I'm seeing is nothing more than a common, circulated, and slightly dinged-up quarter worth... ta-da, a quarter. Please, do explain how this magical "S" came to be on this incredible, ahem, "error". Then, if not too much trouble, perhaps you and your infinite wisdom could explain why one should use gloves on everyday change, or any other coin for that matter. If the "advice" (actually a statement) is so poor and so offensive to warrant such a response, I'm sure you'll have no problem explaining why.
You already explained the s, and prior to holding these coins, I was holding an au satin Perry's victory that has 3 images on it. And the bicentennial is worth atleast $1.85 sir Googled it.
This reminds of that other idiot that was so sure of his errors and took no ones advice but his own. Hmm how ironic that I catch the same lingo being used between the two. Let me guess you have a 58 doubled die and a 69-s doubled die penny too right?
Id love to own a 59 or 58 doubled Lincoln cent, and bye way you are referring to other members, you must run this forum, and Is it a problem if i test myself to see if I'm right, I d told by a person on coin community there was knowledgeable people on here. But I've mostly experienced sarcasm
I can see what you are seeing but it is nothing more than a few dings, hits, and scrape marks that appear to look like a letter. You have a common North Dakota that's circulated.
It's a circulated quarter worth 25c, nothing more. If you think it's worth more, that's fine with me. Go list it on eBay or sell it to whoever said it was worth $1.85.
And I promise you that your experiences are a direct result of your conduct. If you dropped the attitude, perhaps you would discover that short of a few select individuals, this forum is generally a nice place populated by many fine people. Now, is there nothing wrong with testing yourself? Of course not, and personally I find it a fine way to learn, but is that what you're really doing? Judging by your oh so pleasant responses, it certainly appears as though you're actually trying to test us, and when not getting opinions that match your own, throwing a fit over it. You'll get a lot more from your time here if you simply come back down to earth, young lady. Who knows.. you might just learn something after all and one day look back to find yourself embarrassed by this foolishness.
Interesting observation. I also got the impression pennies for dollars is/was testing us, but I suppose we can only speculate about that.
I know the answer you seek. It's a message from aliens who live 19,000 light years away. The message must be decoded, however, before you can cash in on your riches. I pulled out my decoder and have decoded your message. Are you ready? It says: Drink More Ovaltine.
I took your advice and "googled it". Well I'll be damned! There it is, right there in black and white. Your coins is worth........................................"Face Value" Man ( or woman whatever it might be) if you can get $1.85 for that "korter", I'd say go4it. But don't stick around for too long as your buyer might just "google it".
