[QUOTE="claw, post: 203466, member: 3699"]Hello everyone! I know your tired of all the Washington $1 posts, but this is a new one. I wish I had the skills to take quality pics. and be able to post them to this forum. I have found a few coins which I am not quite sure are errors.So I will try to describe them to the best of my ability. Out of nearly 3 boxes, I have found 3 coins with the rim raised up like the quarter.It is supposed to be smooth with a beveled edge. It runs 3/4 around the edge on the obverse, and about 1/3 on the reverse. It almost looks like a cud. It looks exactely like the rim of the quarter. What kind of error (if an error at all) would this be called & what kind of premium would this carry if any at all. Also, I have found two coins out of the same roll with a tiny zig-zag (what appears to be a crack) line that runs all the way around the third side of the coin.It runs through each incused letter. the line does not appear to be raised. What is this called & is this an error? Any premium? I also found what appears to be a dropped letter error of the designers initials ( obverse) on the side of the coin right next to the D mint mark. It appears to be J F only backwards.( It would appear normal if you put it in the mirror) it appears to be incused. It is exactely the same size as the initials on Washingtons bust. There is no way that a few contact marks would be able to make these letters. In fact there was one on ebay about a week ago and it sold for $630. I really dont think this will be common at all. I spent an hour trying to get a pic that would show these letters with no luck. Just wondering about how much could this be worth? It may be 25,000 rarer than the smooth edge variety. Any thoughts and opinions will be greatly appreciated. TIA CLAW[/QUOTE]
