dolphin333m New Member United States 10 Posts	Posted 04/15/2024 12:52 pm Hello Friends! My son and I are new at collecting. And we came across this strange 2019 Lowell quarter. But I'm not sure what we are looking at. I don't know if it's just dirty or if it's an error. Could you help us out with it? Thank you in advance. And we really appreciate being able to learn for all of you! * Moved by Staff moved to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

Earle42 Bedrock of the Community United States 10038 Posts	Posted 04/15/2024 4:23 pm 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, useless Machine Doubling, Die Deterioration, or minor insignificant imperfections (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?

dolphin333m New Member United States 10 Posts	Posted 04/16/2024 1:12 pm Thank you Earle42! I will definitely check those sites out. My son is autistic. And he's taken a likely to coins. So I thought I would learn more about which once were keepers and valuable so maybe he can hold on to them for his collection. Report this Post to the Staff
