2015 HOMESTEAD QUARTER DOLLAR ERROR HELP.

Hello,

I am looking for advice as I have a 2015 Homestead Quarter Dollar which has the back of the coin upside down compared to the face.

Is this an error or is the coin meant to be this way.

I am new to all of this so any information would be great.

Thanks
Scott

    When you find a quarter that isn't upside down relative to the "front" (ie - obverse) then you'll have something very special otherwise you have normal, everyday quarter.

    @Smcd86.... Welcome aboard.... All coins are minted that way.... sometimes, the reverse is slightly rotated (usually described in degrees - i.e. 40 degree rotation).... If you find one fully rotated so it is in the same direction as the obverse, then that is a significant mint error and will add value. Medals are minted in that manner. Have fun...Cheers, RickO

  • OK thanks for the fast replies. I thought I had found something special but I'm sure I'll find something one day.

    Thanks again

    If you take the quarter, obverse facing you,
    and you flip it OVER, not turn it to the right or left,
    the top of the reverse should point to 12:00.

    If it doesn't, then you have a rotated reverse.
