  • 2020-W Quarter Strike Thru Error Questions

    I recently acquired this 2020-W Weir Farms quarter with a large strike thru on the obverse. I have a couple of questions about it.

    What could have been the object that the coin was struck thru?
    What is an estimated value of such a coin?

    Thanks!

    Definitely a struck through. As far as what it was struck through, it is difficult to say. It could have been anything from machine grease, to broken pieces of tools or dies.

    As far as value, we don't do that here. I recommend visiting some auction sites and do searches on completed auctions of struck through's. It could give you an idea. Ultimately, it is what the seller and buyer agree on.

      Thanks for the info! I also see something on the reverse at around 2-3 O'clock. Does that look like anything? It looks to be the slightest bit lower than the surrounding area. And is this something that will benefit/worth grading?

        I don't know what that is on the reverse. However, based on the rest of the coin, it is very possible that is also a struck through of some sort.

          It would just be a called a struck through unless one can without a doubt pinpoint the material that it was struck through. This is cool. The more dramatic they are, the more coveted they will be and thus worth more of a premium.

            Thanks. I have it at NGC purely because it's a W strike through. Would be interesting if they put what it was struck through but I'm guessing probably not.
