I found this quater that this touching letters in states. And the wing is not all the way there. I was wondering if someone could tell me if errors like this are worth keeping. Im very new to coin hunting. Thank you.
It appears to be die deterioration , the die for the reverse ( unless the obverse is the same way) was used way beyond normal numbers and the die spread slowly pushing everything to the periphery. Fun to keep , but worth little or none above a quarter. This occurs with many coins of all denominations. Jim
So would that count for all coins? I found some 65 and 67 quarters were liberty is like halfway into the rim.
The extent of the closeness to the edge reflects probably the number of times used and the pressure . Increase in either or both will reflect on the closeness. Some years/mints more than others. Think of a railroad spike new and as you hammer on it, even straight down, the more the top spreads, Jim
Worth keeping as an example of die deterioration, to show others. I found a dime this past year that had way late stage deterioration, in fact, the worst I had ever seen....I put it in a flip and labelled it as a "specimen" (not to be confused with true Specimens labelled as such on TPG slabs)...Spark
