TX_CoinLady New Member United States 5 Posts	Posted 05/24/2024 08:06 am Hello, I came across this 2008 New Mexico quarter with errors on obverse and reverse. The reverse has a serial number double stamped, similar to DDR date, the serial number is - 33.6N 106.6W The obverse has errors under Washington's chest, and the word Liberty. Any ideas what this is?
