Is it common for 1981 Quarters to have the "LIBERTY" & Date riding the rim? Other years seem to have a small gap. Thanks.

Sure, I will work on that pic. I did, however, mean it as a general question since all but one of my 1981's seem to be like this. Thanks.

It can be caused by different reasons, some good and some bad. Only way to tell is a pic.

I think the die that struck your coin had some wear on it, and might have been slightly misaligned too.

Thank you. I guess these are not collectibles?
Rest in Peace

Nothing wrong with keeping a couple if you like them. After all, they only cost you a quarter.

As for value - no - just a quarter and probably will always be a quarter.

When you get a misaligned die causing the devices to at least partially fall off the edge interest increases. Interest increases value.
