I have several Standing Liberty quarter error coins, all dateless, including a die crack and a lamination error. The die crack is quite extensive and deep. (I will try to post photos) What would be the values on these coins?

Dateless Standing Liberty quarters are not errors, they are just worn. 1916-1924 SLQs had a raised date so it tended to wear off quickly. In 1925, the date was recessed to improve its wear qualities. Buffalo nickels had the same problem.

As for the die crack, you say it is deep? A die crack cannot be deep, it is a raised feature- a recessed crack on a die creates a raised line on a coin. If the line is in the coin, then it is probably a scratch.

No, as for the dateless feature I was trying to clarify the level of wear on the coins. Thanks for the help on the supposed "die crack", I sometimes forget exactly what defines the error types. It is probably post mint damage. But what would be the value for a Standing Liberty quarter (probably about G-4 grade wise) with fairly prominent a lamination error on the reverse?

Even if you now think it is damage, a picture would still be helpful as I am just making an educated guess based on your description. As for the lamination, that can be a bit trickier- they can be looked at as a flaw on the coin or as a desirable error if very large and prominent. Even then, the premium would be relatively small but would vary depending on the eye appeal.

Have you checked carefully for a date? If you try different lighting you may be able to detect a date. Remember that error or not some of those are worth many thousands of dollars even as G-4. One of the big problems with error coins is the lack of a date and Mint mark. For example an offset coin without a date is only worth a dollar or so. The same amount of offset and the same coin with a date starts going well up there in value. Error collectors are a little fussy about that date thing. If you want a sort of decent explanation of the different types of error coins and their possible value look into a Red Book, 2009 edition, pages 401 to 404. Not complete but fairly decent.
