<p>[QUOTE="mikediamond, post: 136797, member: 1859"]If it's a genuine 180 degree rotated die error, then it would be worth at least $300 in uncirculated condition. You don't need to send it to a grading service to determine authenticity. All you need is a 10x hand lens. Is there a fissure or seam at the junction of the rim and the field on one face? If so, it's a fake. Is there a seam on the edge? If so, it's a fake. If you drop it on a tabletop and it makes a dull thud, then it's a fake. If there's no seam anywhere and it has the "ring" of a normal quarter, then it's probably genuine. You might also want to weigh it to see that it matches or approaches the normal weight of 5.68 grams.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
