I have a New Jersey State Quarter that was made off center. Should I have it authenticated? and if so how do I go about it? Does anyone have an idea what it is worth?   |

 That is a nice State Quarter error, appears to be about 15% OC and fully uncirculated. I see no reason why it would not be authentic, looks just fine to me. As far as value goes, an error on a State Quarter is quite a bit more valuable than one on a regular Washington quarter. Fred Weinberg retails certified examples for $100-150. |

It would cost you around $35.00 to have it certified with PCGS,but maybe it would come back in a high grade and that would make it worth more.If you found it then investing $35.00 would be worth it in my opinion. John1  |

It is going to cost alot more than $35. From the PCGS fee schedule, it would be $50 for the error grading plus $8 handling for each submission order plus $20.35 shipping($100-1000 total value) back to you charged by PCGS plus postage to get it there(priority mail $4.95) which comes out to almost $85 to get a single coin graded and that is only if you have a Collector's Club membership. If you do not have that, it would be an additional $49 for a grand total of pretty much what the error is worth  |

Mint error submissions as stated to PCGS are now $50. Used to be $40. I would put this coin in a nicer plastic snap holder and keep it that way (if you can close the holder). Great coin! Great to have you! swcoin.ecrater.com

Welcome to this forum family, that is a very nice find, I had no idea that PCGS would charge such a crazy fee, I have never sent a coin to them to be graded, thanks for the information also Bio, If you have a very unique and rare coin, then, maybe then but otherwise NOT, !!

Exactly. PCGS has really went wild with their submission fees. I won't submit another error to them unless it's pretty significant value wise. Even though this OC State Quarter error is an awesome coin, it still would not be lucrative enough to justify the $50 + insurance/register return fees. swcoin.ecrater.com

Would PCGS or NGC grade and slab the coin without attributing the error? The error is obvious...so the remaining variables are authenticity of coin and the grade.
