    Hi guys,

    I noticed on this 1999 P Georgia State Quarter that there are multiple errors on the reverse. Would like some help verifying what they are. I see the Reverse of the coin has a MAD with a rim fin, a die chip in the "D" of Wisdom, a die crack in the ribbon above the "M" in Wisdom, and another issue at the very end of the upper part of the ribbon. It looks like the ribbon has 3 points at the end now. What is this? 1999 P Georgia State Quarter (Reverse).jpg 1999 P Georgia State Quarter (Reverse)  (Close Up).jpg 1999 P Georgia State Quarter (Obverse).jpg Is this error also found on other 1999 P Georgia State Quarters?? (See close up photo).

    The obverse also looks like it has a rim issue. Is this a Misaligned Die?

    Probably. That is caused by a worn die.
    Common. Nothing major and no added premium.

    I think the more important question is if this is an experimental planchet error. Does the coin weigh more than 5.9 gm? Also, check the edge of the coin for the telltale sandwich of metals.

    Is there copper lines on the rim like most quarters ? If not you could have a quarter worth $10,000 . Also weigh it if it weighs 5.9 - 6.1 grams I definitely would have it looked at by a professional.

    The coin weighs 5.71 grams. The quarter has copper lines on the rim also.

    Basically a normal quarter that was minted by a worn die and has seen its share of circulation.

    Here is a photo of the coin's edge. But my main question was regarding the extra piece of metal off the bottom of the ribbon. (See Photo #2). It now looks like there is a 3rd edge to the ribbon. I have not seen this mentioned before. Georgia State Quarter Rim.jpg Georgia State Quarter Close Up Error.jpg .

    First, the weight is within tolerance. Second, the ribbon tip appears to have taken a hit. You will notice the upper (original) tip of the ribbon is thinner and flatter than the lower tip, therefore, my opinion is the displaced material caused by a hit to the coin caused this anomaly, ie. PMD, post mint damage. Personally, I like the coin and would keep it for a conservation piece.

    I agree that the tip of the ribbon has taken a hit which sliced a small segment downward. I say this because I have several dozen uncirculated 1999-P GA SQ's that came from Mint bags, and none of them have this damage.

    On the die, part of the D of WISDOM chipped off, leaving the incuse letter incomplete on the coin.

    I have a 1999 P quarter dollar that has multiple errors and weighs 5.59 grams. The odd thing is that it is dark brown and feels strange to the touch

    Best to start a new thread and post photos of both sides. Sounds like your coin was found in the ground and suffers from ED, environmental damage. Welcome to CT.
