    Road rash. Or more likely a mechanical grinder.

    That's damage, not an error.

    I figured it was PMD because it's to clean to be road rash. The obverse is all doubled die,But do you think it's worth anything? Also I have some 1982 and 1983 Washington quarters that are error, I heard that 82 and 83 p and d are getting scarce.

    With damage that heavy, it's unlikely to be worth more than a quarter, I'd imagine.

    Yep. Reckon that got ground off as well. Likely a case of someone with a power tool and too much time on their hands.

    .
    Sorry didn't ask the question. Also some of them have added errors like doubling and double die but because all 80 have the same die crack they Are worth much?

    Now those look interesting. Just remember "value" is an "eye of the beholder" thing. At first glance, I would seriously be keeping these and putting them each in a protective container. With a multiple run of the same coin, it is my humble opinion, someone might pay enough for a couple of these, to have them sent in to a legit grader. Believing that pays off, the sell of one or two may offset the cost of all, leaving you with a truly nice find. Now, not to be wishy-washy here, but remember the "eye" thing too. I still think it would be a worthwhile quest though. (in case you didn't notice, the treasure hunting theme going on here....be sure of one thing, it could go either way, just how adventurous are you (meaning how much do you want to spend to find the "possibility" that "thar be gold in them thar hills", so to speak )). Really though, they do look worth while, both in the collecting side and monetarily.

    Your '76 quarters with die cracks are a common error and do not hold a premium for collectors. What would worth finding is a perfect coin with no cracks or blemishes on it, due to how many of these coin were made.
    You can compare your coins for Doubled Die here, A DDO or DDR may have a bit of a premium to them.

    And here you can read about the different types of doubling so you can know that you are looking for and not wasting you time with Machine Doubling.

    I stand corrected. Apparently a novice error on my part.
