2002 proof set Tennesse Quarter

#1 Unread post by Army97 »

Good evening I was looking through proof sets and came across this engraving or mint error just before E Pluribus. It’s on the coin and along the rim when I look through a magnifying. I don’t want to crack the case myself so I would like to know if I should send this set to NGC PCGS or Coneca for verification. Would like to get some advise

It looks like a " Strike through error". Possibly a small piece of metal scrap. :clap:
Not that it adds any extra value but very cool! :D

Welcome

I do not believe it is possible to determine the exact nature of this anomaly with the images posted here.....

Is the impression into the coin?

I recommend that you take this to someone knowledgeable in errors, and have them assess it for you prior to sending it out for certification.

And the mint makes these coins, exclusively for coin collectors! :shock:
It's just another "Poor Quality Control" coin minted by the US Mint, with no extra value to this numismatic collector...

The cost to get this graded will far exceed its actual value (even if it is a strike through....see Paul's comment).

See the PM I sent concerning understanding grading companies and how they work. You would have gotten back a graded coin in a slab with no mention by them of any error (again - if it is an actual error).
