My heart and prayers are with all affected. Hope everyone stays safe.

Wonder if they could have made 2 types? I remember when I was working on a set of British farthings, in 1860 there were 2 types. 1 had toothed beads and one had round beads. Never know, could be something like that going on with this date. There may be some place @Tobias J Reily can research it and see. Make sure its not a counterfeit. Good eye at pointing that out @J P M

I sure hope everyone fairs ok down in that part of the country. My heart and prayers are with all those affected. Most important I hope everyone stays safe. Next I hope everyones coins stay safe. I always wondered how many coin collections were destroyed by bad storms such as hurricanes and tornadoes. You see whole communities out west completely destroyed by severe tornadoes. Nothing but foundations left. Has anyone besides me ever wondered how many rare coins were scattered by them never to be seen again? Unless someone metal detecting stumbles over them? Breaks my heart to see people lose their home and everything else they got.

I know Im no expert in no kind of way. Some may not agree with me on this and some may. But my true honest opinion. I really think the coin looks under graded. That is just by the pictures. I dont have it in hand but Ill take the word of the new owner. I think it is a true beauty. I think its got beautiful toning to it and its very lusterous. I can only ever hope to own one like that one of these days. That was a great purchase. I kept it to myself because I stink at grading but, before I knew the grade I was thinking it was at least a MS63. Congratulations on your wonderful seated dollar @Walkerfan!! She is a beauty.

I havent heard much about this hurricane. Do they think its gonna do alot of damage? I got an email saying NGC was gonna shut down until its over.

How do you go about getting that done? I may start getting "The Hog Head Hoard" put on all my slabs.

Condolences for Mr. Shafer's family and friends.

They cant go find every single variety of coin and put them in the books. Best you can do is search for that type of error. There are tons of rotated die error coins out there. Were just trying to tell you its not a rare error. The 1965 SMS coins @Just Bob mentioned are highly collectable. Finding an error on a mint condition coin that is highly collectable usually will fetch a pretty good price. The one on the SMS only brought $180. One on just a regular quarter in mint shape wouldnt bring near as much let alone on a heavily circulated regular quarter. No one is being rude to you. But no one will sugar coat it neither. They are giving good honest answers to your questions and trying to help educate you on your error coin. No one is gonna lie and say its something it is not. We are trying to tell you from the letter you shared in one of your first post that its no where near as valuable as what that letter says. I would guess it being worth around $30 to $40. I wouldnt pay no more than that. If I did I would buy one in uncirculated condition. Theres several rotated die errors out there to buy if someone wanted one. I definately wouldnt give what some are asking on etsy and ebay. Some have lost their minds pricing them for hundreds of dollars. Its definately a very cool find. I would be very excited to find it myself. If I were to find one Im also willing to accept reality that its not valuabe and cant go by all the misinformation of the internet and YouTube. Its very cool your not planning to sell it and want to keep it. Maybe it can be a great start to starting a collection. Coin collecting is a very fun hobby. You can buy coin flips or capsules to put your finds in such as that one to further protect them. Errors like that are not really worth sending in to have graded unless they are uncirculated and on something highly collectable such as the 1965 SMS mentioned earlier. If you do start collecting you will learn really quick not to trust most information about coins off sites like Google and YouTube. They are a cess pool of misinformation. Also if you see coins online with a high price tag that dosent mean thats what its worth. Anyone who wants can post anything they want online but that dosent mean its correct. All the collectors who responded to you have decades of experience. Most are experts and some have wrote numerous books in numismatics. They are not trying to be rude. They are trying to educate you with reality. I dont like everything I hear but Im willing to accept it if its reality. You are correct. Its very unique and a great find. Definately a keeper. Keep searching and you may find other coins worth keeping. Such as W quarters and other error coins. But do some research on what a true error is and what aint. Some coins will fool you. Learn the difference in machine doubling and true doubling. Good luck to you.

I really enjoy being able to go to my sets and easily see what I got and what I need. Its a great tool to help you keep sets organized. I also enjoy looking at the awsome coins fellow collectors have in their sets. I really like how you can use PCGS coins as well.

I looked under NGC variety plus. They do have 4 rpm S/S varieties listed. I still cant tell but im not very good at these. It could be an rpm. Someone with more experience with these will eventually chime in and help. If you go to NGCs home page. Go to resources and a small box with other categories will pop up. Go to NGC variety plus and then go through the menus. US coin/nickels/jefferson nickels. And keep going through until you find 1942 S. It will show every variety NGC recognizes. Its got pictures you can compare it to. Some also has die markers such as cracks that can help match a coin up. If it is one and not on the slab , you could probably send it in to NGC for a fee and have it put on there. It probably would cost more than it be worth though. If it turns out to be one then the submitter probably didnt pay the $15 variety plus service to have it checked. But its really hard for me to tell by the pictures. Its hard to get a good picture of a coin. If you are an NGC member then you can go through their resources and see if it is or not. Just have to navigate their website a little and find variety plus. Its usually my go to place if Im trying to confirm an rpm or dd coin. Very helpful. If your not an NGC member you can do an internet search and with a little looking probably find the known rpm listings with pictures also. But if it is anything its an rpm because there is no DDRs listed for that year. It may not be an RPM either. May be a little mechanical doubling you are seeing. It hard for me to tell by the picture. Im not the greatest at seeing those things.

I looked at variety vista an it dosent show any ddr listings. It only shows 3 ddo listings for that year and mint mark.

I cant tell by the pics but it should mention it on the slab if it is. Unless its something minor NGC dosent recognize. Unless the submitter didnt use variety plus services. You can look under NGCs variety plus and see if there are any for that year and compare yours to them. Or look at variety vista online and search that years varieties.

You probabaly have seen the ANACS discovery coin slabs also havent you? Seems they are a fan of Wexler. Ive seen these things on Ebay for crazy premiums. Hard telling how many Wexler varieties Ive thrown in the coin jug over the last few years.

I agree. I never understood why they recorded every single little microscopic bit of doubling. Then again he is charging a pretty good fee to examine peoples coins.

Im not very good with these but I found a cool website that talks about the presidental dollars and also mentions something about how many stars the Sac dollars have. Hope this helps. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=89978449&url=http://www.smalldollars.com/dollar/page33.html&ved=2ahUKEwjV5v3ikf2AAxWtIEQIHYY7BUAQFnoECCoQAQ&usg=AOvVaw1EoFduduJI0BSyDD8j1ieC It also tells which coins errors were found in.

Ill give you 2 cents for both. You pay the shipping.

If you browse Ebay you will see quite a few rotated die errors. They've been on there for quite a while also. Espically the ones with the very high asking price. Theres a very limited amount of error collectors and like @Sandon mentioned theres not a high demand for rotated die errors. There is to much supply of them for the demand of the collectors. The internet is full of them. This is just me but, if I were to find it I would put it in a flip or capsule and put it up with my other error coins. I dont buy error coins but I save them as I find them. Still a very cool find. I would love to find one for my collection but Im not willing to buy one. Espically for $2000. Id rather buy a classic coin in mint condition if I were gonna spend that kind of money. Most other collectors would to.

Yes they will grade all the US Mint products. I had a 2019 end ww2 silver medal graded a few years ago to go along with my end ww2 silver eagle. Looking back I wish Id left them in the OGP. I had just started collecting and thought you were supposed to have them graded to make em more valuable. I bought into the internet hype. Ive since quite certifing modern bullion. If it were mine I would leave it in the OGP. It cost quite a bit to have one graded due to all the fees. After piling on the insurance, shipping, return OGP (if you want it back), and everything else it gets very pricey. Usually you can buy the presidential medals already graded cheaper than you can buy one and have it graded. The bulk submitters and bullion dealers get a deal on them and can sell them at a fairly cheap price. But its your choice. If you want to pay and get it certified its entirely up to you. But if it comes back PF69 then the value decreases quite a bit and it makes it not worth it. Been better buying a PF70 from a bullion dealer.

I agree with the others. It looks like some of the dimes Ive found metal detecting. When they are under ground they turn that color. So do quarters. Ive washed several off and put them back in circulation such as probably thousands of other metal detector hobbiest has done. If it really does have another coating then it was probably from a school science project or something like that. It never came from the mint like that. It would be considered post mint damage. A good way to verify it is to weigh it and see if it is in mint tolerance or not.

Its a very cool quarter indeed. Very cool find. Its only worth as much as someone is willing to pay for it. The best way to find that information is to look at sold listings and auction records for coins simular to it. Cant go by current asking prices. Anyone can ask whatever they like for coins such as some on Ebay. There are tons of rotated die coins at all different prices. Some higher and some lower but it dont mean anything if no one is buying them. A coin is only worth whatever someone is willing to pay for it. One thing about the letter was it was talking about dollars instead of quarters. You would also have to verify it and see if any of those dollars had ever been sold for $2000 or if that was someones guess at the time. They were probably uncirculated also. That plays a big part of it to. If a coin is heavily circulated the price drops quite a bit.

What grade does PCGS have on it? Did it cross over as the same grade NGC had on it? Its definately a beauty. I love the good natural toning. It toned beautifully in my opinion. If I ever had the chance to own one Id love for it to be a simular color.

That is a beauty. Congratulations on a very nice addition. I really love the toning on it. Anyone would love to have that one in their collection.

Maybe we now have 90.

Large date.
