2 questions:
1. Every price guide I check shows under a buck as the value (unless its super high grade) for a regular strike 1976-D quarter, yet right underneath the auctions realized are in the hundreds of dollars accross the board for grades. Why?
2. LDS? Whats causing these errors on this beautiful quarter? (mint mark messed up and it litterally "sits" in a bowl where the metal is depressed around it, plus it has various die cracks like on the forhead as well as some signs of doubling like on the R on the reverse and IGWT on the obverse)
Thanks!!

he also has a broke nose but the light was making it darn near impossible to photograph, you can kind of see the lightning like crack in the middle of his nose in the pic above

Machine damage on a coins devices will reduce the overall size of the device.

Die Deterioration will show towards the closest rim. It enlarges the devices a bit, but usually not in a uniform fashion.

Die polishing will reduce the fields a bit and reduce the height of the devices on a coin. This will appear on the coin as thinner devices.

Hub doubling enlarges overall devices.
