Hi, I'm Brenda, and from Illinois. I'm new to coin collecting. I love going through my change and looking at the year of the coins and never knew that there were errors on them. I am still trying to figure out the lingo and what to look for on the coins. Any help is greatly appreciated. I thought I found some unique errors and brought them to a "coin collector" and was told they're not worth anything, but he has reached out to me to see if I'm interested in parting with them. Which makes me think he knows something I don't. I found this 1982 D quarter that I think has an error in it. Do you think that it could possibly be worth anything? I've downloaded apps that are supposed that I thought are supposed to grade and tell me if there it is an error and how much it is worth. *** Edited by Staff to Add Year / Mintmark / Denomination to Title. It's very important to have in the title. *** |

@moo, first welcome to CCF. Second, what exactly are you seeing as a potential mint error on this quarter? Is it the filled in mintmark or something else. Pls clarify. Thx.

 What I'm seeing is the Filled Mint Mark and a possible Die Crack across his chest. That could be a scratch but, it's a little bit hard to tell While an '82D is not scarce, with errors such as your's there may be some premium. I can't get more than a VF-XF, your dealer see's the additional value or has a customer that is interested. I would take it to him and see what he's offering. If nothing else, it would be a good learning experience for you. Have fun! Edited by dsking

Given the single image posted, I'm seeing a common, well-circulated '82 D quarter with a filled (or flattened) mint mark. Scratch (damage) across the neck. What does the reverse look like?

1982 is half and half. Half of production what you has on Observe and the other the new Observe design with smaller relief and the letter far from Rim. the MM, is full. Is not error is due more to grease accumulation on the Die. The chest present a scratch which was produce after the Mint process. Seem be like a exacta cut. We say PMD. Welcome here. |

Big scratch/gouge across the neck from circulation. Lots of other circulation his and dings. The only thing i see is a possible MAD (Mis-Aligned Die) where the date is on the very edge of the coin, but not enough to bring in a premium. The MM (Mint Mark) shows that the die had a broken post. Notice how the 'D' center is filled in. Can you post up a picture of the reverse? (Posting both sides of a coin is something you should do every time you post up a coin for us to examine). Can I ask what the 'coin collector' offered for this coin? Edited by Dearborn

If you can post pic of reverse. I have a 82 I just look at the other day and my MM is filled as well however I have a few things going on on the reserve I need to look at again. Maybe the dealer like they're saying saw something and it could be or reverse and or you had something else he/she was interested in.

All of the 1982 quarter are touching the rim. They swollen master hub created the design like that on the business strike quarters  Even the quarters are near to touching the rims.  |

OMG, I am really not a dumb person when it comes to using a computer, but I uploaded the front of the quarter and now I don't know where it went. I hope it gets uploaded to this response.  |

I do not think someone say you are dumb in computing.. I have no idea about your app (I will like to know and test). Your reverse it is normal design for 1982 which come from hub use for RDV-007. I do not see the DDR 1982. I have no idea what Reno911 talk about. The only interesting with 1982 it is the Observe design which used at the end of production the new design (1983-1984), but more then 95% of production gone in the reserve and probably was melted later and the balance gone in the uncirculated late sets.

The 2 places that I have taken the quarter say they do not specialize in error coins, and find no value for them. I would like to have a so-called "Coin Collector" look at this and give me an appraisal. I'd just hate to pay for this to be appraised and find out it's not worth anything. I see members of this chat using abbreviations I have no idea what they mean. I have watched youtube videos where they point out huge errors on coins. Duh anyone can tell that is an error. But for a person like myself that is just starting I look up terms like double die, coin strike, or wrong planchette. You might as well speak another language. I know some of you have commented on how some of the scratches are caused by the quarter being circulated would you mind pointing that out on the coin? That way I can determine that before I post it?

@moo, sorry for the use of jargon. Here is what I see with your quarter: it is well worn from being used. You can compare the overall appearance of your coin to the sharp, shiny details in the coins posted by @coop further up this thread to give you an idea of what has been worn away.
I can only see one thing which qualifies as a mint error on your coin and that is the filled in letter D behind George's neck. This is common and does not add value to a coin. Your coin doesn't need to be graded because it is only worth face value. If this was my quarter, I would spend it.
