Asking for someone’s coin expertise on mint defects

[EDavis]

Along with metal detecting I got into going through any change I have and look for coin defects. I’m new at this and have found a couple and wondered if I could get an opinion on if they could be of much more than face value. The quarter on the back has line through letters top and bottom and couple other defects if you zoom in. The dime is stamped deeper on one side and rim is thicker on one side.

Sorry, nothing there to make it worth more than face value on either coin. The quarter has some damage done to it, and the dime is just a poor stamp job.

what does the edge of the dime look like, is it still reeded?

Hi there, I own a coin shop and the errors are just pouring in all the time but the resell market is just not there for me.

Reeded edge on the dime is visible in the pics.

are you part of a network of shops that interact with each other and can find things for folks?

No networking for me but I have a ton of stuff after 40 years here in SW Florida

"EDavis", on your 1971-D Washington Quarter, it looks like you have a double die error in the " In God We Trust" motto. Someone on EBay is selling a similar coin for $13. I don't know how rare it is, but sometimes
coins like that go up in value when the coin world decides that it is rarer than once thought. A good example is the 1936-D 3 and a half legged Buffalo nickel. For years you only heard about the 1937-D 3 legged buffalo which commanded a high premium because of its' rarity. Now, the 1936-D has surpassed the 1937-D in value since it was discovered not too long ago. I'd hang on to it and see if anymore people are interested in that particular error. Good luck !!

No, I just like collecting things here and there! I like the thrill of metal detecting and discovering the history behind the stuff I find. Looking for mint mistakes is just as neat and is new venture.

I’ll have to take another look and I’ll get back too you!

You'll notice it hasn't sold yet. People can ask anything they want. It's what sells (and it's cost) that counts. Machine doubling is just not all that rare.

That's definitely machine doubling on IN GOD WE TRUST, not a doubled die. Machine doubling is from contact between the coin and the die as it is being ejected, a doubled die has the doubling on the die.

Yes!
