<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mil3na, post: 3453185, member: 102786&quot;]Hello!</p><p><br /></p><p>Just a heads up:</p><p>In case my post seems to be too long please, jump to the bottom of the page where you will find pictures of the quarters I found in my pocket change and have questions about. </p><p><br /></p><p>_______________________</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>My name is Milena and I&#039;m a newbie to this forum. As a newbie I&#039;m not sure if I am supposed to introduce myself and tell you guys how I got into collecting coins and what not so I&#039;ll try to keep it as short as I can at least for now.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m fairly new to coin collection but I also wouldn&#039;t call my self an avid coin collector as I do not buy coins or own a specific collection of them but I keep circulating coins that I find interesting looking or of a higher grade. For the past couple of years I have always saved my loose change so I ended up with a few jars filled with coins. I never really thought much of it until recently where I came across youtube videos about valuable and desirable coins that people found in their pocket change. </p><p><br /></p><p>As I got nothing to lose I decided to go through my change. I did some research and watched many videos about coins but the more I read or watch coin videos the more lost and confused I end up being. One minute I think I found something especially when I come across coins that look different than all the other ones the next I doubt it and think it&#039;s probably nothing but just a regular coin worth nothing but its face value. </p><p><br /></p><p>Since I don&#039;t have anybody to help me I was hoping someone here could help me with a few coins I came across that look different than all the other ones. I would like to know if what I am looking at is considered to be an error or just something that happens all the time so I know for the future. </p><p><br /></p><p>Below I attached a few pictures of US State Quarters that looked different than all the other ones in my possession. Pictures were taken by using my phone and the usb microscope just to be sure you get a really good look at them. I know some are beat up as they were in circulation and might have no extra value to them but what makes them look different is something I should consider to be unique or nothing at all.</p><p><br /></p><p>1. Iowa State Quarter - I am curious as to its color and would like to know what could be the cause of it. Is it struck through grease? </p><p><br /></p><p>2. Delaware - if you look at the image you can see that The word &quot;THE&quot; is missing and the letter &quot;T&quot; in first, as well as &quot;E&quot; in state but if you look closely you can see a faint outline of the missing word and letters.</p><p><br /></p><p>3. Wyoming - when I move the quarter in my hands and the light hits it the right way you&#039;ll notice to the right of the horse&#039;s head its shadow as well as to the left of the hat another shadow but of the hat. Is that an error or something pretty common? </p><p><br /></p><p>I would really appreciate your help and any feedback I could get that will help me learn and grow</p><p><br /></p><p>.[ATTACH=full]917963[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]917965[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]917966[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]917967[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]917968[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]917969[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]917971[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]917972[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]917973[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]917974[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
