HappyGilmore New Member United States 45 Posts	Posted 08/08/2018 11:50 am Hello...I found a peculiar looking 1974 Quarter in some pocket change.. It appears to be missing the "U" in quarter on the reverse side.. In my searches where others have had errors the case was their quarters were plated...This one isn't and weighs in at the regulated weight. I tried supplying the best picture of the error aswell as proof the quarter hasn't been plated. Thanks in advance for any help.

Just got missed when wiped off. Good example coin because can be eyeball seen. Not lotto winner tho... Edited by Crazyb0 08/08/2018 12:33 pm Report this Post to the Staff
