Hello and Welcome. It's hard to tell what your saying is an Error. Try this and fully ask your question. Thanks. Try this in the meantime....
Well I'm new into collecting n let me tell u I cant pass a coin without looking at it haha but I wasn't sure if the shadowing behind the word Hampshire was double die or wat it's from,I tried wiping it n it stayed,,is it just wear??
Most likely a worn die strike. It's a common die deterioration issue. Not a Doubled die variety. Only worth 25 cents Welcome to CoinTalk
could be a little grease on the die not allowing a better imprint. Not a error, but good eye on spotting that. Keep looking you'll find something eventually. Welcome to Coin Talk.
Welcome to CT @Brittania1169. This is something I post mostly for new members, I hope it helps. For the best results, you should post "in focus," FULL IMAGE photos (after you upload your photo, two buttons appear: Thumbnail and Full Image, click Full Image and your photo appears full size on your post and are easily enlarged by clicking on it). Photograph coins on neutral backgrounds like black, grey, or white. Crop out superfluous background so just the coin shows (you can use https://www.remove.bg for free), and post photos with correct orientation so members don't have to turn their computer in some awkward fashion to view it properly. While it isn’t always necessary, it is nice to show both the obverse and reverse, even if your question is just about one side. Members can often give more valuable information having both sides to evaluate. Add close ups of areas you have questions about and make your questions as definitive as possible so we know what you are asking for. And try to have the best lighting possible to show the most favorable photo of the coin. Hope this helps in the future. Good luck.
Welcome to CT. The comments above are accurate, in my non-expert opinion. It is most likely something on the coin. If not, it is a common shadowing caused by worn dies. Either way, it is worth a quarter. However, had it been an error such as a doubled die, wiping it would have greatly lessened the value. Some of the posts above have good advice, and there are some good threads on CT about properly cleaning coins, but wiping is a big no-no. Most chemical "cleaners" and all polishes are likewise anathema if you want to preserve the value of the coin.
Welcome to the wonderful world of numismatics. There is a lot of support here. The more questions you have the more you learn. It's a hobby that rewards curiosity, an enjoyment of holding scuplture in your hand and the playing field is wide open. Coins, medals, paper money, tokens offer so many options. This is my hobby, I do it for fun.
