Is this worth getting slabbed?

Thought Boston was the hub of the universe.

Condor wins. This person is keeping this coin. I agree

 

"was"

 

Lived in boston. 20 years. Missed the changed

 

Curse of the Bambino, phase next.

 

The reverse of that quarter looks pretty cool!

If time isn't that much of a factor, then I'd wait to get some more coins, and submit them to NGC - Mint Error fee is $15. The dime and the nickel are probably good without a slab and FWIW I'd personally not send them in, but the cent and quarter I'd be inclined to.

 

Want to learn how best to store and/or display really odd error coins? Go to a major coin show, not some local yokel one, look up @Fred Weinberg's table, and go look and learn. The BEST way is to LEARN FROM the best. Everything I've learned about "real" "serious" error coins, I've learned by quietly leaning over a Fred Weinberg case.

 

Unfortunately, I live in Buffalo. We won't have ANA shows to meet this guy because our state charges sales tax. We do have BNA shows (Buffalo Numismatic Society) however.

 

Yes, I live in central Pennsylvania, and I went to Anaheim, California for the summer ANA show in 2016. Went to Portland, Oregon for the March show a few years back, too. A L-O-O-O-O-NG time ago, I decided the BEST money I spend numismatically is on education, not coins.

 

May I ask, what is your specialty? Favorite series or pieces that you collect I mean. And also what you know most about

 

Right now I'm into early copper, 3 cent nickel, and classic commemoratives. I do keep all my current sets up to date, though, and there are a few earlier Washington Quarters I'm always looking to upgrade. Whatever is "hot" in the market, I avoid like the plague. For example, I haven't bought a Morgan dollar in over 25 years.

I study what's "trendy" and run as fast as I can in the opposite direction.

 

Nice. I mostly collect silver, 20th century, but I am starting to now go 19th century with silver 3 cent nickels

I am saving up to get a VF30-35 morgan as I love keys.

 

What's a silver 3 cent nickel?

 

Sorry. I meant silver 3 cent pieces

 

The US Mint made coins equal in value to 3/100ths of a dollar. They were made in silver and nickel compositions. The three cents is the value. When the composition was switch from silver to nickel they were called three cent nickels.

 

I think I might submit these 4 error coins to ANACS as many think it is a respectable company and also because they specialize in error coins. Still gotta look into NGC though

 

I have a similar coin to the OP at NGC as we speak, thanks to another Cointalk member. So, you know what my answer is.

 

Share your results with us if you don't mind.

 

I'll make a thread when I get it in hand. I've been told it showed up in the system as "Broadstruck" and "multi-struck"
Should have a grade in a week or two.
