1978 Filled D Quarter

Started a new thread because I destroyed my first one with trying to figure out how to post pictures...

This 1978 D Quarter has a solid D. It is filled and does not appear to be from regular wear. Thoughts?

I believe this is common - I don't look a lot, but I have seen several with the mint mark just being a blob almost. Usually from wear.

 

Die chip the center spike in the die that formed the depression in the center of the D on the coin has broken off. Not uncommon.

 

i have a ton of coins that, have a filled D. from cents to quarters. its pretty common.

i have a D that somehow got stretched. i am going to try and use the search, before i make a thread though.

 

You can't really tell that from the images posted by the OP.

 

sorry about that...with the equipment i have, its the best i could do

 

Sure you can. Frankly the statement that it is filled due to wear is nonsense. I have never seen a D mintmark whose center was filled in so that it was just a lump because of wear. I have seen coins worn down to Good or less and the mintmark is still clearly the letter it was intended to be. Since typically the center depression of the D extends al the way down to the level of the field, you would have to wear the mintmark away almost completely to render it a "lump"

 

i've got one just like this the D is a blob any clues on whether it's worth anything?

 

I also have one 1978 quarter just like the picture. I was also wondering if this coin has any value

 

First, welcome to the neighborhood. You do realize that this thread is almost 7 years old, don't you? A filled letter like this, whether it is a mintmark or any other letter, is very common and is not worth a premium over face value except to a bidiot.

They can actually be worth quite a bit. I saw one worth $7,500, but you can never be sure of the value until you find an expert.

 

Do you have a link to this sale? Until then.............

 

Welcome to CT. Could you please elaborate on your statement. Quite often coins are advertised for sale by people with low knowledge and high expectations. Another reason could be that the coin already has an intrinsically high value but also has a filled D. The downside to this of course, is that a high value coin with a die chip will be seen by some serious collectors as defective.

 

Welcome to the forum. I got one at half that price for you if you're interested.

 

Mumbles, mumbles.......13 year old thread......

 

But question was yesterday.

 

I really want to sell mine if he wants it. I'm willing to negotiate.

 

I'm betting you saw it on Etsy.

 

The mint mark in the original post from 13 years ago was from a worn die snd circulation. It also looks like it has a die chip on the inside of the D. Very common and only worth face value.
