I found this 2013 Maryland State Quarter and noticed a possible mint error on the front side. Has anyone ever seen or heard of this? I searched online and could not find anything about this. It looks to match the circular edge pattern from the backside.

    Errors are all unique based on production miscues. They are singular events and so you won't find identical pictures.

  • Crazy question but how do I upload it? I tried and i could only find to upload a URL but it is a JPG file.

    Some errors are repeatable and sometimes considered a variety as well.

    The coin got damaged in a rolling machine.

    Thank you! So is this anything unique or rare to hold on to or just a regular quarter?

    Worse than regular.

    Worth 25 cents.

    That is post-mint damage caused by a coin rolling machine.

    Yes, although what I consider pure errors are rarely repeatable while what I consider varieties are always repeatable.
