I don't think I have anything valuable here, but I can be hopeful right? I found this guy some way back and was pretty intrigued. The last digit in the date is completely gone. I'm thinking it's PMD but the spot where the digit should be is just so clean. It couldn't have been ground off unless it got smoothed out over time, but the absence of scratches is what made me wonder. Also if you notice the indentation near the rim. It might be tough to tell but the indent is nearly identical on the reverse and it is in the same spot as the obverse. That is what makes me think it is only PMD, because it is almost like it was squeezed, but because of how clean it looks and because there is absolutely no trace of the missing digit I wondered a little more. Sorry if they are a little blurry but I think they are more than sufficient enough. Thanks for any input.
Nice find, but unless you consider a buck or two valuable, then no, it's not going to make you rich. That's a nice struck through though. I'd hold onto it.
Haha well I'm not in coins to get rich. I meant valuable as in a specific known error I guess. I figured it wasn't. I am definately keeping it. I'm keeping any wheats I find anyway, but this has a special spot do to error. Thanks for the response, and may I ask what a struck through is? i am new to collecting therefore new to most errors.
BTW, welcome to CT! Struck-through errors can occur with any debris, but in the case of yours it was struck with a grease filled die. http://coins.about.com/od/uscoins/a/error_quarter_r.htm Jody
Thanks for the info again, but would the grease leave that indent like that? Especially since it is on both sides in the same spot.
Sure. "Grease" can basically mean gunk, and since this would be a build up on the die, it could leave an indentation on the coin.
