    I got this 1993 quarter today from a change dispenser. Just wondering if it has any worth or just changed color due to elements. I can provide more magnified pictures if needed because I believe the lettering is closer as well. Thank you to anyone who reads and responds! Click on the image to get the larger picture!

    Worth? Yes it is worth 25 Cents

    The Clad layer was affected by Environmental Damage. But still worth 25 Cents!

    The reverse isn't an Error?

    Changed color due to the elephants.

    What exactly are you seeing on the reverse that looks like an error?

    I think they are seeing extra border lines...
    behind the eagle head,
    the inside/under of the left wing (becomes die crack at low end?)
    and the right wing next to CA/AMERICA down to the wing tip.

    IMO...this is die deterioration or a strike pressure event because it looks raised, not incused and not flat and shelf-like as in MD. The coin is well worn and, as noted earlier, is env. damaged so no value beyond FV.

    Not being an expert, I call upon more knowledgable members to affirm or clarify...Spark
