Size and shape appear to match A in America?  Questionable Color possibly die crack and/or Lamination?  |

I believe you're correct about your coin being a Dropped Letter error. Nice find!   The obverse looks normal. Not seeing any errors. Errers and Varietys.

Just received coin today from my favorite e-commerce coin store. It was a little costly and Observe color appears a little questionable but that dropped A makes it worth it..... I hope?

Found a dropped T on Statehood Quarter I purchase directly from US Mint.gov several years ago. In fact, I posted pics here first and learned about 'Grease Dropped Letters" errors. I eventually it sold on ebay for tidy sum. I imagine this will bring considerably more.... if and when I sell? |

Very, VERY, nice Personally, I love how it's "hanging" off the wheat stem... Reminds me of that children's book about letters climbing up a tree... |

Do the major grading companies attribute these kind of errors?

Excellent example and great looking coin! Quote:
Do the major grading companies attribute these kind of errors? I have seen it on all three of the major TGP's labels, usually spelled out as "struck throughs". Not sure if they do the attribution themselves or you have to have a letter accompanying the coin from someone like Mike Diamond from Error-Ref. I would think someone here will be able to tell you though. You may even want to contact PCGS or one of the others directly to get an answer. -makecents-
