1981 quarter help..

Not saying that this quarter has increased value. Just what to know what this could be from or if its normal. Just trying to learn! Thanks ahead of time!

I noticed a color difference around the rim of this quarter, does this have an explanation?

bigbird. My best guess, based on that image is the reverse is PMD or post mint damage. The obverse looks to be a die chip.

 

Don't spend that quarter, no matter what you do.

 

Why do you say that? Did I actually find something? lol Im brand new to this 2 days in! It would be exciting if I found something hehe

 

Can you get me a blow up picture of it?

 

Hmm how could I blow it up? I just used my cam to take it.

 

Get close to it and use your macro setting. It helps to have a cheap tripod as well.

 

I dont know what you see but I also just noticed the last A in America is different from the rest the top of the A is filled in..I don't know if that may be something?

 

Just get a blown up picture and stop speculating...

 

Its a web cam microsoft lifecam Im not sure i have that setting...do u have a specific area you want a close up of maybe I can get it a bit better for you?

 

Ah - no you need a camera, like one you take pictures with, with a lens and other things.

 

That sucks I just lent my camera out too this weekend I'll have it though. I'll post it then.

 

OK good because one of the first things you need to learn is to take decent coin pictures. Meanwhile, don't spend this quarter and we'll wait for your pictures.

 

Sounds good appreciate it and I will deffinetly hold onto it! Either way Ill keep it first coin I found something on even if it is small!

 

bigbird, when you take the photo it will help if you avoid glare in the area of the anomaly.

 

Looks like a beat up '81-D with a ding on the reverse. That's my opinion anyway, and I'm stickin' to it.

 

These pictures any better?
