They're not unheard of in the early years of the State Quarter program and if I remember right, this state turns up with this error from time to time. Report this Post to the Staff
PlanePilot New Member United States 20 Posts	Posted 04/05/2014 10:02 pm Being that the coin has been in circulation, is there much value to grease strike coins in this condition? Report this Post to the Staff
ErrorCoins222 Pillar of the Community United States 1699 Posts	Posted 04/10/2014 7:46 pm Its good to keep in mind, that although a coin has circulated, does not mean its in circulated condition. It could have maintained original surfaces without acquiring any significant, noticeable wear that would cause it to grade below uncirculated. In addition, it is hard to determine the presence of wear on a filled die error because of the lack of details. IMO, I don't think its being in circulation will affect the value of this piece.
