boxer1201 New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 04/25/2019 8:30 pm Hey guys, I will admit, I am new to this and seeking some help, guidance and input. I am a casual currency collector and here lately, mint errors have fascinated me. My collection has grown over the years when I pick things up here and there, and mostly, I just stumble upon. Which leads me to my question. Yesterday, I stumbled upon this 1973-D Washington quarter. On the reverse, it appears there is a mint error in regards to the eagle. The most prominent feature is the left wing which has struck the rim of the coin as seen in the pictures I have attached. My request for guidance is in regards to this being a mint error, and if so, does it have value? Is it worth getting it graded or certified? When looking for this exact error, I have came up short. Thanks to all who have took the time to read and/or respond, and more importantly, thanks for what you do. Report this Post to the Staff

Just damage on the wing from Post Strike Damage ( PSD), meaning that the damage happen after it left the U.S. Mint (after the strike). It's only worth face value. Not even worth getting it graded by a TPG, as it would be a waste of time and money, since it's only worth face value. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff

boxer1201 New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 04/25/2019 9:13 pm I want to thank you guys for your help and advice. Considering I am the seriously under-experienced one here, please consider my reply as not an argument, but more-so my viewpoint. I have attached a few more pics for your consideration, one of the two coins is the quarter in question and the other is another quarter from the 70s. I may be wrong, but it appears the coin with the damage is off centered in comparison to a standard quarter if you will, more so to the left also considering the position of the word "United". If your assessment stays the same, I will leave it be. Report this Post to the Staff
