Curious if this is worth holding onto or just throw it back into the wild. Slightly offstruck reverse and part of the obverse rim is missing Thanks in advance to any replies and happy holidays.   |

What does the reeding look like?

That's worth keeping, especially for the price of a quarter. Worth $3 to $4 alone, maybe more in a lot of similar types.

Definitely worth keeping. You have to look through a lot of modern quarters before you find one like this.

I think the reeding is normal but i'll check it to be sure. Thanks for all your comments,i was prepared to toss this one back.

it is a reverse misaligned die, that is why the obverse has weakness.

Thank you for properly using the words "slightly offstruck"
usually when I hear people say "slightly offstruck" on YouTube videos or Facebook groups, it's usually 0.25% offcenter. Then you got that ignorant dude who says "KEEPER!"

I am seeing exactly what I thought I would see- partial reeding. You have a partial collar error, the collar was not fully engaged when the coin was struck so some of the reeding is missing. Nice find  |

Thanks for the reply Biokemist, Conder. My 1st real error with quarters.

Are coins with a partial collar error larger in diameter than normal coins?
Wouldn't any coin that is not centered have a collar issue?

Partial collar errors do have an increase in diameter but smaller than that of a full broadstrike which would be completely uncontained by the collar. Misaligned dies can create centering issues but the collar is not involved. Broadstrikes can be either centered or uncentered but the entire design must be present either way or else it is simply an off-center strike.

It's an uncentered broadstrike with an incomplete, tilted partial collar error. Worth perhaps $10.
As a personal rule, I count an error as a partial collar error if there's more than 180 degrees of partial reeding. If there's less than 180 degrees of reeding, I call it a broadstrike. Everyone is free establish their own rubicon, within limits.
