kmuffin92 New Member United States 1 Posts	Posted 10/25/2019 9:12 pm I've looked through my coin jar and found an interesting Delaware quarter. The last "E" is completely missing in "The First State", showing "The First Stat". Two photos below show the error coin, and one photo is a side by side comparison with a regular 1999 Delaware State Quarter. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 10/25/2019 9:14 pm Just a minor filled through grease issue. The grease in the die prevented the devices from being struck. Common. It is when the devices are missing 80% or more, when they peak interest in collectors. Report this Post to the Staff

Second, yes there was likely a little grease in the die when this coin was struck and the E in STATE is missing. Yours is a nice example of this phenomenon even if not worth a premium over face value.

The CT quarters lost letter in Charter Oak. The NH quarters tended to lose the mint mark, another one tends to lose the first T in TRUST, on the DE quarters it was the E in STATE. Back in 1999 these were being reported all the time. Report this Post to the Staff
