I found this in a customer wrapped roll of quarters that I was looking through. It's in pretty good shape still, considering that it was found in a customer wrapped roll. Now my question is this. Is it a proof or a special Business Strike? One thing I know for sure, is that the mintage for these are low. Any help or information would be great. I can try to get better pictures later, if needed.   Errers and Varietys.

Nice find, Errers! I don't think that it's a proof, because it would still have mirrored fields even with the amount of circulation it has seen. https://en.numista.com/99698Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures

Thank you, HondoB for your help and the link. I was thinking it's a Business Strike by the looks of it.

i picked a 2014-S everglades quarter from somewhere or got it in change about 3 years ago... I'm sure that I posted that back in september 2023, with pix. the consensus was that it is a business strike. a proof, even if impaired, would probably clearly show mirror-like fields.   that's a neat find, E&V. good eye. |

https://goccf.com/t/1902&whichpage=291my original post from september 2023, I had to really hunt for that. I hope the link works. ehh, it's at the bottom of the page, and my second post w/pix is on the next page, but you'll see everyone's thoughts.

glad to lend an assist, E&V. I sometimes feel like I don't do enough with the sharing of helpful info. I do more reading than posting. many others on here have considerably more knowledge than I can immediately conjure up, but I have a good memory of the things that I find. heh- I wish I could find more of those S-mint business strike quarters, the S takes me back to when I first got going on collecting coins. I got a real charge out of finding S-minted nickels & cents when I was 12-13.

I agree with Hondo also. But nice find of a quarter that was not intended for circulation. |

Thank you, Dearborn. Customer wrapped rolls are fun to go through. You never know what you'll find.  Errers and Varietys.
