Nebraska 2006 state quarter STRUCK THROUGH SLIVERS OF REEDING DIE ERROR

Take a look at this one of a kind state quarter error, does anyone have any clue on its value, id like to sell it to someone who can appreciate its beauty. Ive taken it to a coin error dealer in my town in california and he told me that it was struck throught die error because the coin indents were definently done with pressure at the mint during stamping. Because the collar was around the coin when the pressure was applied to the coin. He also said it might be a new error type because the mint has changed a few processes on the coin production line and he had never seen a coin with error similar to this quarter. Some how this quarter made it threw all the computer cencers and was not labled damaged and rejected at the mint but made it out the door into circulation. Very rare new state quarter error any idea on a coins value. Please comment, this coin is not mutilated after release it is the real deal.

I see gouges in the coin rather than something that was struck through the coin, so it looks like post mint damage to me. Not what you wanted to hear.

Just noticed you posted this topic before and everyone basically said the same thing last time. There is no process that goes on in the mint that can result in this kind of damage. The people you've spoken to are apparently uninformed. You state that "threw all the computer cencers", aside from spelling and grammar butchering, the fancy censor at the mint in a person with cotton gloves that looks at a single coin from every bucket. I remember someone once showed me a state quarter with the word "STATES" appearing as "TATES" He said a dealer told him it was misspelled and worth $500. I knew there was just some grease on the die and the coin was worth about $2, but he couldn't hear anything about that.

 

As others stated on your other thread with the same question - - - it appears to be post-Mint damage. Reeding in the collar would not cause this type of damage. It looks to me like someone was playing around with a grinder or some other type of power tool. Take a look at the letters near the rim. I see damage that lines up with some of the grooves at the Q in QUARTER and at the I and E in UNITED.

I think you have your answer now.

 

koblat:

the people i talked to have been dealing coins for over 40 yrs and there is no way a grinder made these gouges because they were imbedded with pressure not mechanical scrapping. this is a new error type and a guy with a glove doesnt inspect every coin he checks coins that collect in a inspection bucket wear they a looked over and if all wells the rest of coins from series are released with the asumption no mistakes will be found, how do you think errors are released insult removed?

 

where the struck through exstends into the field of the coin makes it even more paculiar i do say and we get an expert to look at the pictures and not amatures with limited insight??

 

Kobalt, I suggest you send the coin to ANACS to have it properly graded and evaluated for a legitimate error. It'll cost you just $20 (more or less) to have it slabbed, and if they mark it as an error, then you'll clearly be able to sell it for hundreds of dollars. This is clearly the only way to resolve this query.
