rachums107 Pillar of the Community United States 3345 Posts	Posted 03/27/2011 1:48 pm A few years ago I bought on ebay a Kansas quarter that had a faint , almost missing "T" which made it say "rust" instead of "trust". I thought this was kinda cool so I bought it for about $6. I received it and assumed it was genuine, but later, when I came to know a lot more about coins, I saw there was a blotch around the T as if someone had been trying to remove it. I presumed this was a fake and said "crap" then went about my life. Now a few days ago I was quarter roll searching and I came across the same type of quarter, only this time the T was faint and there was no evidence of counterfeiting. This coin looked real but the other did not. Any ideas? Ever heard of this thing? Report this Post to the Staff

You may have already read it, but maybe it'll give you a broader picture. https://goccf.com/t/84426 Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/27/2011 5:40 pm Just a quarter. It's a tough less learned on ebay that someone took advantage of your not knowing what it was. It happens. Stick around and see what else is valuable and what is not reading the forum and get a good education for free. Report this Post to the Staff
liveandievarieties Pillar of the Community United States 601 Posts	Posted 03/27/2011 5:46 pm Coin is good for illustrating a portion of the minting process and learning, but still worth just 25c. Report this Post to the Staff
