[QUOTE="c4bishop, post: 21268, member: 1572"]I found a unique error in my change and after searching through definitions of different types of errors I can only guess that it is a case of bubbled plating. There appear to be two air bubbles (or filings or other contaminates) one on the obverse, and the other on the reverse. They are not lined up and the one on the obverse is slightly larger. The quarter was clearly minted with this defect in the blank planchet since the one bubble is under the IN GOD WE TRUST and the second T looks stretched out compaired to a normal 88. It is heavily colored except for the spots of the bubble which seem to have extra wear. I'm sure that when new and shiny the bubble would have been difficult to tell from looking at it. I can post pictures of it if anyone needs to see it. Question: Is bubbled plating a more rare error? Would this error coin have significant value? Thank you so very much in advance for any assistance anyone on this forum can give. Chris[/QUOTE]
