Earlier today I was looking through my misc. coin bag (full of coins that I thought,"Oh, this looks neat, let's keep it") and I came across a 1973-D Quarter that made me stop for a moment. I had been reading up on error coins for about two hours, and I tried to find what type of error it was (I had stupidly labeled it as a broadstrike), but I couldn't. In two weeks, I'm going up to my Grandpa's house (He's a BIG coin collector), and I was planning on asking him, but I'm a bit impatient. Do any of you guys know what this is and what its value is?
I promise you I found a quarter just like this and almost everyone said that it was damaged. Most likely got stuck in the dryer
Broad strike should look like this. All letters, numbers, and devices can be found. Your coin, the letters and numbers seem fall off the edge. That means damage. Got to be fully struck
Yeah.... I put it as broadstrike, but I wrote in oen, and I have a wery limited supply of cardboard holders.
It looks like someone sanded the edge off. If so I would think that the copper would have shown through. The obverse looks undamaged, which makes me think it's not a Dryer Coin. Does it have good edge reeding?
PMD - Post Mint Damage A Broadstruck Quarter would be bigger and have the spreading on both side not just one.
