Is this a error coin? In God we trust, filled mint mark and the line on the top of his head ?

    Welcome to the forum! :)

    The line on the head is rolling machine damage.
    The filled mint mark is common.
    I can't see IGWT well enough to say anything.

    Thanks. What does something like this hold in value?

    Given that it's damage not an error, it is worth 25 cents.

    It depends on which chumps would make the decision to buy it.
    Sellers put them on eBay hoping that dufusses come buying.
    It is wrapping machine damage as itvar said, they have many descriptions.
    Circular strikes
    Halo effect
    Round strike
    When sellers have an offer that they do not understand they have license to describe it in any words that suits them.

    This name is new to me—

    I put them in my trophy can when they have the circular damage on both sides.

    Your coin is a quarter that is worth 25 cents. Do not allow yourself to be influenced by online sellers of damaged coins or minor "errors" who ask stupidly high prices.

    All glory is fleeting.

    That type of mark is caused, like many have said, by the machines that roll coins that are sent to banks. The coins from the early 1980s were typically not struck very well, so a lot of the time the mintmarks are filled.
