I have a quarter with no DECADE in the year. Is it worth anything?

Struck Through Grease issue... Worth 25 Cents!

 

I can't enlarge the obverse. Is it clad or silver? The pic makes it look like silver.

 

It'd be good if you could post a higher resolution photo of the front of the coin.

 

Why did two people say it is not worth anything? I said it is: 25 cents.

 

Actually if I saw this coin at a coin show, I would pay $0.50 - $1

 

Mint mark on the obverse says it is clad. 68,78,88 or 98.
MM was diff in 68-78, and coin quality was poor in 88.
I am saying this is a 1998-D. (25 cents)
Actually the mint mark alone says it's a 1998. They were smaller and more filled in D's on those other years.
If you look with a loupe can prob see the shadow of the 9 in that spot.

 

Agree with @Michael K (obverse mint mark)

 

Sorry if my pics were not clear. First time posting to any kind of site like this.

 

Missing digit could be from a grease filled, or debris filled die.
The more letters and numbers that are missing the better. I would put this in a
2x2 flip and keep it, but it doesn't carry much if any value over .25 cents.

 

After being able to take a better look with the enlarged picture I am going with it being from 1988. The mint mark style had more of a primitive look in 1978 and while the mint mark looks more or less the same for 1988 and 1998, the hairstyle became much more spaghettish by 1998. So, based on the style of the mint mark and its less spaghettish hairstyle, I am confident with a high degree of certainty that it dates to 1988.

 

Yes could be 88 or 98. If I could look through a loupe at this coin with a bright light,
I would be able to see the missing numeral.
