Just joined today and have browsed through so much so please if I am in the wrong place...aargh This coin seems to have a squashed United on the reverse and on the front the LIBERTY seems to be out line...not well defined. Am I just barking up a tree or seeing too much Many thanks Norman Report this Post to the Staff

But, from what I can see this is a normal, worn quarter with some damage on it. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

Looking for random anomalies on coins and hoping they match up to something collectable will take you a lot more time, wasted effort, and disappointment repeatedly finding out you have nothing but post mint damage or useless Machine Doubling, Die Deterioration, etc. Spend some initial time at places like error-ref.com, doubleddie.com, varietyvista.com, conecaonline.org, coppercoins.com etc. to find what actual and collectable coin errors look like. A good way to start is, for instance, separate a bunch of pennies by date. Go to varietyvista.com and, date by date, use the reference there to see what errors are known for that specific coin/mint mark. Look for those specific errors/varieties using the pictures provided. After doing this for awhile you will KNOW what an actual error looks like and not have to waste time on face value and damaged coins. :) How much squash could a Sasquatch squash if a Sasquatch would squash squash?
