Wardgirl New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 05/10/2022 04:52 am I found this quarter while I was at work and what makes it unique is where you see the error on one side it is not in the same place or the same shape on the other side. Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 95252 Posts	Posted 05/10/2022 09:15 am No, this would not be a Mint error coin. Just post mint damage. whether intentional or not, it is just a damaged coin.

Not the wrecked ones. If damaged coins were worth more than normal coins, there would not be any change. Report this Post to the Staff
