I am very new.. Collecting few months just learning certain things. Hard to tell but you can see very bright copper color Def copper. the coating is off in these areas. ? What does this mean. Also Connecticut is almost black and wierd outer shade. I have alot off coins that look just like ones on ebay colors etc. And they are a lot of money. How do I know? What do I look for. How can I find prices.

The Connecticut one is a dark stain on the coin.

Both coins have staining/environmental damage. I do not see anything resembling a bright copper color but I can tell you that the coin is not missing any cladding.

Here is an overlay of the North Dakota Quarter:

While it looks like there was a clash, The area on the neck I feel it is not. That area is incuse on the die, so it wouldn't cause the line across the neck. Probably just a stain.

Tman, you can tell if it is something that's just on the surface- such as a stain, by seeing high points of the coin that show original color from wear. Whatever is on it wore off on some of the reliefs.

Coins tone over time, that is change color. When it is appealing, it enhances values of coins that already have value for other reasons. That's probably what you're seeing on E bay. Your coins have neither. Keep looking, A good place to start is to find coins with raised areas that are not on comparable coins. Keep reading and posting here and you should learn a great deal.
