<p>[QUOTE=&quot;phidelt370, post: 64656, member: 3849&quot;]Hello everyone,</p><p><br /></p><p>I recently came across this coin in a cash register at work. After throwing it in a box for several months, I came across an article in Reader&#039;s Digest that suggested it may be worth some money. I have since taken it to a local dealer who showed it to Fred Weinberg last weekend at a coin show. The dealer offered me $200 for the coin which he intended to sell to Fred for his offer of $250. Knowing very little about coins, I figured it might be wise to hang onto it for a little while and do some research of my own before selling. Anyways, the coin is a 2002-D Mississippi state quarter missing the reverse clad layer. In addition there appears to be a filled-die error on the reverse side. This error shows itself somewhat on the obverse side as well with the disappearance of the word United and most of America. Fred Weinberg was not able to identify exactly what may have filled the die, however. I don&#039;t know much about coins, but it seems pretty rare that two different errors would occur on the same coin, if in fact that is what this is. If so, does this make this more valuable? The coin has some circulation, as can be seen in the photos, although I don&#039;t know enough to grade the degree. The copper side is reddish brown, although the scanned image makes it look a bit more yellowish-brown. I guess my biggest question is should I sell to Fred Weinberg directly for $250 or try my luck with E-bay? Although he seems to be a very reputable dealer, I hate the thought of someone else making money off of my coin. I don&#039;t have any history myself as a coin dealer either and I don&#039;t know if this would impact my ability to get a good price for it on the internet. Also, I was wondering if it would even be wise of me to sell this coin at this time, or if I should hold onto it for a few years. I know these state quarter errors are very hot right now. Does anyone know if this trend is likely to continue? Finally, would it be worth my while to get the coin graded and certified by one of the major coin grading companies? Anyways, any advice would be appreciated.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks-</p><p>Daniel[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
