<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Johnnybravgro, post: 3067834, member: 95065&quot;]I am new to coin collecting. I have a 2001 P New York state quarter that is black on obverse, if it were environmental damage you would think the damage would be on both sides of the coin. I have looked at other coins that people have found and they look exactly the same. If it were &quot;environmental damage&quot; they wouldn&#039;t be exactly the same they would differ slightly not the case here! Like i said i am new to collecting coins not sure of the politics in these forums however i see clear favoritism. I may be naive, surely unknowledgeable, and would love to learn. As I&#039;m sure ALL of you know, once you feel you have a &quot;good find&quot; and are educated to the contrary, it is very frustrating! I realize I have a tremendous amount to learn and am quite overzealous but I see inconsistencies regarding opinions on the most basic or common of errors and feel as though a novice gets the shrug off and one of the guys in the club gets a genuinely researched and educated response. I do not want to sound like a high school freshman being picked last for kick ball but I sure could use the amount of attention necessary for me to be able to effectively learn what to see and what to KNOW as error and what to see and to KNOW is &quot;post mint damage!&quot; So, the short of the long of all my whining: attached hereto, please find the 2001 P New York State quarter as described above. Please let me know your respected opinion and hopefully I will learn some valuable information that I can use in order to bother you guys less as well as further educate myself. Your time and assistance are greatly appreciated. I look forward to hearing from you.<img src="http://NY black 2001" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
