I have a 2003 D Arkansas quarter with a stamp error, it has a stamp imprint on the backside of the quarter toward the upper left of it, and in the front it shows a little bulge in that upper left side of the quarter. The backside has a clear line stamped and runs through the Arkansas name. Does anyone know approximate value of this coin? If you have any questions, feel free to email me at ***E-Mail Address Removed*** |

 To the Forum. There is a wealth of information on this site. It looks like Post Mint Damage to me. BUt it is hard to see the details due to the blurry pic though. I'm sure others will chime in. Edited by Jayman931

The image needs to be clearer to tell for sure what is on your coin.

I posted another pic, on the flicker link provided in response to the post, ( http://www.flickr.com/photos/696165.../6328852651/ ) I cannot get it a whole lot clearer, I am using my phone, and it not good at close ups. By the way, I am far from an expert and do not know a whole lot, just know this could have some value. |

Sorry - I can't tell you what happened to your quarter. It is very hard to get good photos of coins. I looked at both phtos and I think it is PMD (post mint damage) most likely. I think the coin -- probably still warm -- got bagged to ship and the weight of other coins left the mark. But that's just a guess. It also could have been hit with a hammer - seriously, that happens. It is very hard to figure out what happened but we have some great experts here that might have a better explanation. As for value, IF it is an error coin, you really couldn't expect to get very much for it. There are a couple of really cool error coins that are worth quite a bit (like the WI quarter with the extra leaves and the 1955 penny where the date is clearly doubled). But for the most part the errors aren't worth much. I have seen error coins that sell for about $10 - and that means a dealer paid less than that to the seller. I hope that information helps. You do have an interesting quarter there but without seeing a really clear picture, I am not sure you'll get the answer you want about the error. |

A focused photo is needed here. I agree it appears to be PMD but a clearer photo might change my mind. The PMD (post mint damage) I think I see here probably happened outside the mint. Coins aren't warm at all when they are bagged so the damage has nothing to do with the weight of other coins on it. Try to get a focused photo and repost it in this thread. |

Is there any additional change to the surfaces below the line (the majority of the reverse of the coin)? If there is some abnormality in the surfaces it could answer the question as to how this damage occurred. For instance, cubic or other patterned markings could indicate it was simply hit with a hammer, or if you can make out the mirror image of another coin which appears to have been pressed into the surface of this one, then again someone may have place a coin off center to this one and hit it with a hammer. Both of these instances would be PMD and not errors. Now if you can make out a non-mirrored image or ghosting of another coin (most likely the same design quarter) then you may have a true mint error. |

I can see right next to the Letter "A" in Arkansas a shadow of an imprint of what I think is the letter you and to the left of that letter looks like a backwards N. You can almost see it in the picture, I wish I could get a clearer picture. On the front.. on the right of the quarter the edge is deeper on the rim and it swells out a bit inside of that .. so I am almost sure it is not done by a hammer because the edge of the front right is deeper, and the left of the rim is almost non existent. But again, I am certainly no expert lol I took a pic of the front, I hope this helps! You guys are awesome for helpin me with this, I appreciate all your efforts and help!
