coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 01/07/2015 02:21 am I see a struck through error. (grease) What does the other side show? Full rim in that area on the opposite side, then that is what it is. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 01/07/2015 11:00 pm Looks like something was blocking the formation of the rim on the reverse. Is the reeding on the edge missing on that area? Edited by coop 01/07/2015 11:00 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Jayramsey New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 01/25/2020 5:03 pm I have a similar quarter same year where you can't see quarter dollar on back and half of the word liberty on front above Washington's head is missing. Are these worth anything? Not looking to sell just curious. Report this Post to the Staff
Oijogja Pillar of the Community United States 715 Posts	Posted 01/25/2020 8:42 pm @Jayramsey: Welcome to the CCF. It depends on the condition of the coin and whether it's really a mint error. If you start a new thread with pictures of your coin, we'll be glad to give you our opinions. Sometimes a coin is just worn so badly part of the lettering is unreadable, so we'd need to rule that out. Report this Post to the Staff
