    So i always save all my 1999+ Quarters and i use them in vending machines and such - i have two at my building and two at my work.. So what i do is i overpay for a Soda or whatever and after then transaction it returns my change; but not the change i originally paid with. I tend to get a good amount of Washington quarters. Matter of fact, i have folders full.
    I'm always on the look out for the '83's and today this one popped out. Lucky day.
    I happened to have purchased one of those self slab 10 packs off Amazon a while ago and this is the first i have ever use one. Novelty i guess. Anyway, what do you guys think of this coin?
    Originally i thought it might be a 'Spitting Eagle' as well but after taking thee pics (some with the USB microscope) i no longer think it's a Spitter haha.
    Still, i'm deferring to the experts. Is this called a broadstrike? Or just 'off-centered' and if so i was thinking it was abt 5% - 10%. Maybe 8%. I don't know how to label this. I'm not looking to sell it. I just want to know what i have. Maybe is planchet error? I really have little experience in this area.
    Thanks all.
    Oh, and incidentally, what would something like this be worth?

    If there is no reeded edge then it's a Broadstrike.

    Nice find, @Justawesome. I never have the luck to find any in the wild... I mean, vending machine, change, rolls, etc. :headphone:

    Definitely a broadstrike. Probably would sell for around $25-ish
