1985 P Quarter. W God We Trust. Doubling.

I used my phone. I need to get better photos with my camera when I get home. This coin has so many abnormalities. Something is wrong with the eagles feet, too.

Well based on your photo's I'm going to say DDD ( die deterioration doubling). JMO

I also say Die Deterioration Doubling

 

So what does that mean? Is it worthless basically?

 

Yes no extra value.
Dave

 

another phrase is 'worn or overused dies'

 

Nice to have a good example. Nicer to find it yourself but they are common.

 

It's strange how the I and N merged like that. I thought maybe that was something else but I'm no expert, just trying to learn. Thanks for the feedback, we'll probably just save it with our other interesting but not valuable coins.

 

I have a few that I save that have no added value. We call that collecting.

 

The "I" looks like it lost a battle with a coin rolling machine early in its life. It may also have been damaged by whatever caused the rim ding at 9:00

 

The I is blotted out because of grease on the die when it was stamped. Still an interesting coin to look at. I would keep it.
