There are no plain quarters in 90.

I know about 1988 and 1989 missing mint marks on quarters.
Havn't heard about a 1990 missing the mint-mark error.
Hope you got something new!

Any idea of the population of the '88 and '89? or value of an average circulated one?

They are filled die strikes. Interesting but it's not the same as if the mint mark was not on the die.

I think that probably turned out to be much ado about nothing, that article seems to be hyping it quite a bit from a non-numismatic perspective. This coin is not mentioned in either the CPG or A Guide Book of Washington and State Quarters. The 1982 dime mentioned is listed in the CPG. Plus, I am leery of trusting an article that makes such a serious error as this- Quote:
The incompressible oil prevents metal, which melts under the high pressure, from filling the mint-mark recess of the die. The striking of a coin is strictly a cold flow process, nothing melts at all  |

OK, I'm not as excited as I once was after doing extensive research on the 1988 & 1989 varieties. It seems one can't even sell one for $5-$50 anymore. Nevertheless, it would be really great to find the first example of a particular error! If this error is a filled die variety why does it carry such a small premium compared to the 1922 Wheat cent that is a similar type of error? |

Quote:If this error is a filled die variety why does it carry such a small premium compared to the 1922 Wheat cent that is a similar type of error? I've always wondered that myself. One of the 4 known 1922 dies with the missing D is an overpolished one, a different sort of error (in my mind) than the other three, which are fills. That one die (again, to me) is the one which ought to carry a premium. Market demand and hype are fickle things.  |

Over polished dies are over rated to me. The 1922 No D, the 1937-D Three legged buffalo, the No FG Kennedy's and others ones I've forgotten are just worn dies and a lot of hype to me.

Does anyone think I should send this in to have it attributed?

Die pair 1 on the 1922 (NO D) is supposed to be a no D die isn't it? No D strong reverse.

This particular quarter had the P mint mark simply beaten into submission by whatever dinged up the surface of the coin. It could have ben used in quarter slot machines. If you look above (to the right) of the hair ribbon on the image, you can see what is left of a blob that used to be the "P".
Actually, you can make it out in several of the images.
Thanks,
Bill

No. Quote:If this error is a filled die variety why does it carry such a small premium compared to the 1922 Wheat cent that is a similar type of error? Because, in my opinion, the 1922 "No D" is way overrated. It supposedly is worth so much because Philadelphia didn't strike cents that year. In that case why is there no great demand for the 1968, 69, and 70 no mintmark business strike nickels? Philadelphia didn't strike any nickels in those years yet coins with no mintmarks because of filled dies exist. |
