  Smooth edge as well. Got this one out of a mint bag yesterday. And I decided to share it here on my birthday. First error coin we have found. Thinking about getting it slabbed just for the heck of it.

  Welcome to the forum! Hope you enjoy your time here. First off - "You suck!" that's a pretty great find!  I have no idea of the value, which in my opinion drives whether it's worth slabbing, but I think that's very cool. Secondly - "You suck!" because you're already WAY better at taking pictures than I am. Again, welcome aboard. |

nice off center strike, this coin would be worth practically the same slabbing as it is raw so idk if it would be worth the fees

Nice find. I am new to the forum myself and as you I was welcomed with open arms. Good luck (like you need it) and happy hunting.
Peace

The reason this has a smooth edge is because it was struck outside the retaining collar which has the reeds (lines) cut into it. This is one of the many signs of figuring out whether examples are genuine. Nice find!

Any error on a State Quarter yields a much higher value than a similar error on a regular Washington quarter. Error dealer Fred Weinberg currently has some 1999/2000 State Quarters 10-12% OC listed for $125-135 while a regular quarter would be valued $10-20. Not that it matters much for the value but I would grade it MS-64/65, it is very nice  Edit: that is what I get for looking at errors when I am tired, I swear I thought half of UNITED was missing  Conder is correct, the lettering is right at the edge but still full so it would be broadstruck and not off center. That would impact the value somewhat, probably worth around $50. Edited by biokemist6

Congrats on the find, hope its the first of many errors to be found.
a bit of education is great too, with the smooth edge being the confirming factor, something to tuck in the back of my brain for the future I hope.
take care

Uncentered Broadstrike. Not off-center, none of the design is missing.

How does that affect the value Conder101? I am still learning the different types of errors, much less values!
