Hi! I'm nee here. I just wanted to add that I too have a 1983 D quarter with the same error on the In god we trust. I am completely new to this all so I am unsure but I also think I can see double stamping on the G, the W and possibly the B in liberty. As well as an error in the outer rim being offset to the left possibly. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.    |

to the CCF If it was doubling, all the letters would be doubled, not just a couple of them. Your coin is suffering from wear and some damage. The outer rim is what is known as MAD (misaligned die.) Not off enough to warrant any premium. |

Vending machines take a big toll on quarters. This one is also showing a MAD (Mis-Aligned-Die) on the obverse, but these are only collectable when the devices fall over the edge of the coin:   |

as well. Thanks for the post. Great place to learn about what we have and think is -- or don't know is -- valuable. If the coin was worth grading otherwise, would a TPG automatically notate the MAD? Would they need to be paid a little extra? Would they be silent altogether? Stay well, Diy89Nurm7 |

No premium for this. Save your money for a coin that would deserve to be put in a slab. I've never sent one off to be graded, and pay nothing extra for a slab. I feel in most cases, they are a waste of expense.

Thanks for the replies!
I was just curious, had no plans of sending it off anywhere. I just started collecting coins within the past couple weeks after my seven year old noticed a "strange penny" as he called it. I was very intrigued so we have been paying more attention to change we get here and there. I am actually (for lack of better words) just barely past the "limit" of being considered legally blind, so even with my microscope I have a hard time seeing and comparing while trying to learn different errors and such on coins. I appreciate the insight though!
