KFaragher Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 I found a circulated 2005P Kansas Quarter with I believe to be a grease strike error of the "K" in "Kansas, but I can't find any information in it if this is a known error, and I can't find any appraisal info either. Also the "i" in "Liberty" is faint as well. Thanks for your input! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandon Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 (edited) Welcome to the NGC chat board. Please post photos that are right side up and better cropped to show only the coin and not the surrounding surface. Based on what I can see, the missing "K" in Kansas and weak "I" in "LIBERTY" on your 2005-P Kansas quarter could have resulted from foreign matter (generically referred to as "grease") filling these portions of the dies. See https://www.error-ref.com/?s=struck+through+"grease". However, this coin has had a fair amount of wear and tear, and the weakness may also have been accentuated by wear and scrapes. Coins struck from filled dies are generally classified as minor mint errors and usually have little or no collector value. Contrary to claims you may have seen on some websites, it is extremely unusual to find rare and valuable mint errors or die varieties in your pocket change. EDIT: Your topic would receive better attention if posted in the "Newbie Coin Collecting Questions" forum. The "NGC Registry" forum is for topics relating to the NGC registry for certified coins.
