bgravit New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 06/23/2010 11:46 am Found this quarter in my change. Am wondering if anyone knows of this error yet? The "L" in Liberty is not stamped well. Grease in die I guess. Report this Post to the Staff

spaceace Pillar of the Community United States 797 Posts	Posted 06/23/2010 3:59 pm I was assuming grease too, I have a Yellowstone quarter that has the same weak lettering on parts (if I rememember correctly, my coin is very weak/missing the first part of AMERICA). Report this Post to the Staff
bgravit New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 06/23/2010 6:27 pm Thanks for the replies. Collecting these for my kids. Maybe it will be worth something more than a quarter someday. Report this Post to the Staff

bgravit New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 06/24/2010 11:34 am Well that's a bummer to hear that it is not considered an error, but will still hold onto it. Have a nice 1944 Wheaty missing the last 4 and the last T in Trust...same kind of issue I am sure, but still an interesting coin. Report this Post to the Staff
robbudo Pillar of the Community United States 2759 Posts	Posted 06/24/2010 11:39 am It won't be worth more than a quarter, but it is an error (look it up in an error glossary, it's there). There are a handful of errors that don't add a premium to a coin, and in fact can decrease its values. It's still cool to have and show off a 'mis-spelled' coin, even if it's just struck thru grease/water/debris. Report this Post to the Staff
