    I have an uncirculated business strike state quarter from 2007, Wyoming to be exact. On the obverse, there are two places where it looks as though a layer is missing from the coin. I have never seen this before. Getting pictures is tough, however, here is a shot of each location (under George's nose, and on his neck under the ear). What is this? Is it nothing? Is it now just a circulated quarter?

    It is known as a partial lamination. A thin layer of the clad material has flaked away.

    I agree. I've seen this a lot on the Idaho quarters especially.

    Okay...so we know what it is...what does it mean? Is the coin now junk? Is this now an "error" coin with value? Any input appreciated as I know nothing about this type of issue.

    I'd say not worth more than 25 cents.

    I'd say put it in a 2x2 flip, put it in a folder, forget about it, find it years later, reap the nostalgic feeling, and profit more than 25 cents ;)
