jigglesthefett New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 04/29/2010 12:25 am I found this quarter awhile back when given change at a store. I kept it, but am now very curious as to what, if anything this thing is worth. Below are the best pictures I could take of it (As I don't have a really good working camera right now) Thanks in advance for any information! Report this Post to the Staff

Scooby Due Pillar of the Community United States 4000 Posts	Posted 04/29/2010 01:27 am It's off-center enough that it is collectable. It's not going to command any high premium, if that's what you're asking. Notice the lack of rim near the date, and the extra rim at the top. This may be called a finned rim, but I'm not positive. Like j_h_s said, if numbers or letters were missing, it would be worth more, but your coin is certainly worth more than face value to a collector. Do you collect coins, or do you know someone that does? Report this Post to the Staff
jigglesthefett New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 04/29/2010 01:31 am I do not, and the one friend I had who did stopped collecting years ago. Report this Post to the Staff

Maybe it will grow on you and you will start watching your change for other anomalies and keep asking questions. There are many valuable coins that can be found in everyday pocket change that will surprise you! If not, maybe one day you run into a young collector, or a relative and you'll have something to share! Report this Post to the Staff
Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 04/29/2010 10:22 am Can't tell from the photos but does it have the reeded edge? If it does then it is a case of misaligned dies with both dies being misaligned which is unusual. If the reeding partially missing or missing then it is an uncentered broadstrike. It isn't an off-center strike because none of the design is missing. Report this Post to the Staff
