Dropped Words and Letters. Rare Quarter

[Chevygrl64]

I have a 1998 p quarter. Completly missing the word IN-IGWT...The letter G- GOD. The letters T and R in Trust. No scrapes, smears or damage. .It appears like they were never there, accept G in IGWT. It is visible under microscope but its faint.

What you're describing is not a dropped letter (that's something different) rather, your most likely describing a struck thru error where something like grease clogged the parts of the die - thus those areas were not struck properly and do not show the usual design elements.

Are they mint errors

[jcuve]

A coin that was struck thru grease, is a mint error. Its level of collectibility and whether it is worth a premium would largely depend on how dramatic it is, coupled with date and denomination.
