<p>[QUOTE="Billy Kingsley, post: 701852, member: 19456"]<font face="Arial">Hi Folks, I think I have found an as-yet unreported error on the new Guam Quarter! Got this in change yesterday, and as I was looking at it closer today, I notice...there is an extra piece of metal at the top of the outline on Guam! It is a RAISED piece of metal, not an indent! Would it be a die chip or break? I'm too new to errors to be able to tell. </font></p><p> </p><p><font face="Arial">I pulled out my silver proof set to make sure it wasn't part of the design, but it's NOT on the proof! Have I made my first ever numismatic discovery? </font></p><p><font face="Arial"><img src="http://images46.fotki.com/v1442/photos/3/348354/6136805/001Copy2-vi.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></font></p><p> </p><p><font face="Arial">(Note: That is not a massivly doubled die on the Proof, just a reflection on the holder)</font></p><p><font face="Arial"><img src="http://images112.fotki.com/v587/photos/3/348354/6136805/001Copy-vi.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></font></p><p> </p><p><font face="Arial">This blurred a little bit but you can clearly see the extra metal here.</font></p><p><font face="Arial"><img src="http://images50.fotki.com/v1573/photos/3/348354/6136805/002Copy-vi.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></font></p><p> </p><p><font face="Arial">Now, If I HAVE made a discovery: How would I go about it recognized?
