Re: Post mint damage?
Daniel,
Do you have a link to photos of die gouge errors? I have looked but am having trouble finding one that I can see clearly.
Thanks much,
Clyde

Re: Post mint damage?
I will see if I have an image. A die gouge will look like a small chunk of the coin fell out, and inside the gouge will look grainy and bumpy. You will need a magnifier to see this.

Re: Post mint damage?
Hey guys,
I looked with the micro scope and it really looks like the mountain had a piece fall out of it. (didn't hit the hiker) If this is a die gouge or suspect thereof, is it something to send off to someone and if so who?
Thanks again,
Clyde

Re: Post mint damage?
It's not worth a fortune and it will never be a variety because it's a definate mint error. However, State Quarter errors are popular and worth keeping.

If it is worth 25.01 cents I'll keep it. Looks like I found my first mint error.Daniel wrote:It's not worth a fortune and it will never be a variety because it's a definate mint error. However, State Quarter errors are popular and worth keeping.
Now I keep looking for the next one. Thank you guys so very much.

I feel the same way. Your coin would sell for more than a cent over 25 cents at ebay I guarantee that.clyde wrote:If it is worth 25.01 cents I'll keep it.

Re: Post mint damage?
The coin appears normal to me when you compare it to an original image of the coin. It's hard to tell what's going on in your photo, but it appears to just be a normal quarter. Better photos would help too. Here the original image

Re: Post mint damage?
Hey there Nolife,
Thank you for taking the time to respond to me. Being a newbie I can use all the help that I can get. This coin, where the "V" is in the (for lack of a better word) cave is looks to be missing. It is quite deep and does not have the detail that the coin I am matching it to does.
Any thoughts would be great. Thanks much,
Clyde
