I have a 2016 new quarter I found in my change it got part of America backwards on the reverse side on both ends what kind of error is it and is it rare and valuable
To CC! I'm sorry to say, but you have a severely damaged coin. It's been mangled from all of the damage. PSD. You can see the pushed in metal, where it took a hit. Worth face value.
The devices on the opposite side are probably flattened from the contact mark on the obverse side.
What was the biggest clue this is PSD (Post-Strike-Damage)? Answer below: The outside rim of the coin. It is pushing outwards on the reed area. That is the first place I look for an altered coin. Highlight the area above this for the answer.
