1965 Washington quarter FS-101

This coin is in nice shape, but a few scratches. Any value?

    Nope, not the FS-101 and worth face value.

    Sorry, Sugarplum. ;)

    I see these on ebay listings and cannot explain why they do this. I guess we will never know why, like crop circles.

    Just remember...the advice you receive on a site is worth every bit of what you paid for it.

    Amateurish marketing; they appear knowledgeable, professional to those who know less. Maybe some sellers intend to deceive, but there are sellers with pareidoliac delusions.

    Looks lie die fatigue mixed with mechanical doubling.

    Sure. 25 cents.

    You need to learn to compare your coins to a good online source, such as Variety Vista, here is the link to FS-101 http://varietyvista.com/09b WQ Vol 2/DDO Detail Pages/1965PDDO001.htm
    or Wexler's https://doubleddie.com/980499.html

    You can look at all varieties and need an EXACT match to call the variety.

    And you never post pictures of screen photos, the resolution is nothing. Keep hunting.
