This 2001 New York State Quarter seems to have several errors on both sides. Can anyone tell me if I've got something good here?
First, welcome to the neighborhood @Mike F ! Those images aren't clear enough, and you have to be more specific about what you think you see. The problem most newcomers to the hobby have is that they think every little ding was caused by the Mint when they are usually caused while in circulation. This NY SQ has been in circulation for 20 years.
Okay thank you I will try to upload better photos. What I'm seeing on the reverse side is where the lettering in the term Gateway to Freedom is missing some letters or have been stamped over. The GA in Gateway is missing and the TE is crooked . The FR in Freedom serms to be missing as well. On front side the U in United does not seem to have the bottom part of the letter. The hair seems to be very thick and not as distinguished as I ha
Sorry, but it's all damage. Look at the surfaces of the coin, on both sides, and compare it to a normal clad quarter.
That coin has been very roughly used, only reason some of the lettering is flat/missing is extreme wear from circulation. Welcome to CT!
Okay, I am such a noob that I don't even know how to start my own thread... That being said, I want to post some pictures of a 2001 P North Carolina State Quarter I have had since 2001. I found it discolored and odd looking so kept it with a good number of coins I have held on to. (Even though I am not a collector per say, and know nothing about this). So my question is this: Is it possible that during press "Set Up" at the mint, the operator uses a blank to "dial in" the press for pressure, cenbtering or anything else along those lines? After some answers, I will post my pics for your JUDGEMENT and Sarcasm...LOL But my quarter looks like it was used for such a thing. These are many pieces of evidence on the obverse of George's eyes in different spots, as well as some letters here and there.... and no, this is not a post mint "Stop" hammer time.... Thank you

Mike, welcome to Coin Talk. We really need better photographs before we can adequately evaluate your coin. From the pictures you provided, it does look like post mint damage to me.
Fred Weinberg already stated that it is all damage. I stated that it is definitely damaged. No need for any new pictures.
WOW! First time I have ever been admonished for requesting clearer pictures! Maybe I need to read the rules again!
