Henri Charriere Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 🐓 : Any feelings about this one? It's 42 years old. It's got front-end damage on IGWT which has been worn down smooth. Q.A.: It's time-barred by the Statute of Limitations. If the President is inclined to award it a reprieve, he may. That's what Executive clemency is for. But, if I may, I should like to ask the OP a question of my own; setting aside the matter of silver melt value, what should this coin be worth -- and why?

Just Bob Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 It appears to be a combination of wear and die fatigue. It looks like this die was used past the point of being able to produce clear lettering. Add to that several years of handling, and you get a motto that is almost impossible to make out, and a date with fat numerals. Also, at this point, the master hub design had been in use since 1977, so it is possible that the same master hub had been in use for six years. If you compare the lettering on a 1977 quarter to that of a 1982, you can see a slight difference in the size and shape, showing that the master hub was wearing from use. That means that by 1982, the letters were never crisp and thin, even when the dies were new. The Neophyte Numismatist and Sandon 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandon Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 Based on the partial and indistinct photos, it does appear that this 1982-D quarter was struck from worn dies. The coin also appears to have a fair amount of wear. 1982 and 1983 quarters have some value in uncirculated grades due to the mint not selling uncirculated coin sets in those years but not when worn like this. Try to post images that show each entire side of a coin, are cropped to show as little as possible of the surface surrounding the coin, and are taken from directly overhead, like these: Coinbuf and The Neophyte Numismatist 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coinbuf Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 (edited) @Staci89 perhaps you can tell us why you are asking all these questions about value on the coins you have posted, what is it about these coins that you think they have a value greater than face value? All I see is a well worn quarter worth 25 cents. Edited August 9 by Coinbuf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After all, it definitely does look different from the other two coins. But, the posts above should explain why there is so much difference. Well, three of the posts, anyway. Just ignore the first one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenstang Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 Quote In God We Trust looks like different than the rest Your comparing coins from three different years. New dies are made every year and there can be slight changes from year to year. If you are comparing coins, make sure they are all the same year. powermad5000 and Henri Charriere 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staci89 Posted August 9 Author Share Posted August 9 I'm not comparing coins all three or three different years and they all have in the writing somewhere messed up one of them has ridges on the top where it says Liberty and all three of them in God we trust looks like it was all one almost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandon Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 Circulated quarters (and most other circulated coins) dated after 1964 are generally worth face value. The motto often looks "mushy" due to worn or filled dies and does not the caused the coin to be worth a premium. In fact, most collectors seek out coins that are well struck from new dies, as well as the coin itself having no wear. powermad5000 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henri Charriere Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 (edited) There it is. Pre-1965, silver melt value. Post 1964, face value. This of course does not include the 1937-S which stands in a class by itself with numismatic value. *** Edited August 9 by Henri Charriere Deletion of inapplicable content.

The Neophyte Numismatist Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 At this point in your hobby journey, you have about the same chances finding a true error as a blind person solving a Rubik's Cube. I would develop the eyes first to increase your chances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic101 Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 Found this 1945 GB KGVI penny . There seems to be an error here .viz the error below the kings neck and the error on the shield on the reverse. Is that true? And if so is it worth pursuing the different grading and values on this coin. Thank you in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenstang Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 Nic101. This penny has absolutely nothing to do with the original 1982 quarter posted here. I have requested that it be moved to it’s own thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
