I am curious why the error on the butterfly's wing is not considered a value error. Thank you for your expertise!

what is the error that you see?
What error? A little die chip?
I am curious why you think that a tiny error that is barely noticeable should be a valuable error? Oh, that's right, because you own it.

Enjoy it for what it is.
DIe Chip? Die Break?
I am asking for a learning experience, would I like to find the Holy Grail? Sure, just like all of you. No sense sending something back into the coffers IF it is something worth keeping.
They are easy to buy. This seller has not sold his.
Thank You! Agreed, THAT is why I am asking. I admit I don't know much about coins, but they do fascinate me. Just curious why some errors that are hardly noticeable are money coins and others are not.
Members appreciate enthusiasm and courtesy. Thank you.
Read more, then ask questions. Here is a recent thread by a new member that digressed kinda in that area—note her preparation:

One reason is that a common die chip is not considered an error, it is a die state caused by a
worn die that has chipped. There could be thousands of the same out there as once the die chips,
every coin struck after that will show that chip until the die is retired is retired.
There are very few "errors" that are hardly noticeable that are worth anything.
There are a few varieties that are, but that's because there are variety collectors in different series. If you can get that variety into Redbook or the PCGS registry, it'll be worth something.

That's an excellent question. I'm pretty sure the answer has already been given on this thread, although not highlighted as much as it could have been.
But it really depends on what you mean by "money coins". Could you give 10 examples that you feel ARE money coins, so we're all on the same page?
Even better... After you give 10 examples, can YOU describe what they have in common that is not shared with your Tallgrass Prairie quarter?
Like everything else price is dictated by supply and demand. Collectors just aren't interested in little things like die chips, small die cracks, minor filled dies, things that can easily be found in circulation. If there's no market for them, then there is no value.
They’re all money.
You meant “money”?
How can we who ain’t getting rich on coins gonna help another get rich?
Why would they who get rich on coins share their secrets over a party line?
This is help for collectors, not assistance to resellers.
Sometimes, it's one of those days...
