Numis Question from a non-numis guy... I have a state quarter (Alaska) that was obviously struck wrong during the minting process. The image is off-center to the right. On the left side the rim is very thick, and there is no rim at all on the right. There is also no reeded edge on the quarter. It is perfectly smooth over 95% of the edge. Would this be of any value to a collector? I know there are some collectors who look specifically for error coins. Any input? What should I do with it? Thanks!

Re: Numis Question from a non-numis guy... http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&s...q=f&oq=&aqi=g1 There should be INFO in the above you can study if you want to. NO BODY cares about your money like you do. NOBODY! So don't trust anyone without taking the time to research the investment by yourself. When I was 10 my wonderful uncle bought 2 1909 S VDB CENTS from DUMB me for $10 each. I did not research them ENOUGH. I did not need the money that bad - I had paper routes. I would grade them at about MS64 to MS65 now. Somewhere retailed NOW at $3000 to $4250 :23_30_104: E A C H ! I learned 55 years ago NOT to get screwed ANYMORE :36_1_30: - or shall I say again!

HS, curious minds must know, what happened to the VDB's? :biggrin:

Pics would be very helpful for a proper error diagnosis. I'm pretty much familiar with all the varieties of mint errors, so I'm sure I could tell you what it is if I could see it. From your descriptions it sounds like a broad strike or partial collar strike error, not worth more than $10 or so if that's what it is. Does it look like this? http://www.bakercoins.net/learn/erro...r/wq90brt1.jpg
