“These coins display no trace of handling, wear, contact with other coins, or scratches when viewed at 500% magnification. Older coins are almost non-existent in this grade; there are few known examples. The reason for this is that numismatic coins were used in circulation when gold and silver were used as common currency”.

2015 Homestead Quarter Errors and Varieties

Off‑center strike

This is a partial stamping of the image as a result of the displacement of the blank relative to the stamp. The cost depends on the degree of displacement. Small offsets are of little value, large ones of 15 – 50% or more are much more expensive.

Double strike or re-strike

A sharp doubling of the contours of the elements. Greatly increases the price when visible. If you find this error in the 2015 Blue Ridge Parkway Quarter, for example, it will be great value to you.

Double die

It is especially appreciated if there is a noticeable doubling of the date, inscriptions or image details on one of the sides. A real doubled die is a rarity and requires confirmation by experts.

Excess metal or stamp joint

These are protrusions of metal in places where the stamp has collapsed. In the absence of significant correction, it has collector's value.

Clashed die or filled die

These are faint, "washed out" details of the image. They come across often and usually have a small premium.

Incomplete metal coating or MP with a layer defect

They mostly lower the price, except in cases of unusual patination. Then the interest of collectors is possible.

Wrong metal

They are extremely rare and expensive. You can try to find it in the 2015 Homestead quarter error list with pictures.

Edge errors: fluting variations, filled or lost risks

They can add value depending on the severity.

How to distinguish a real error from a typical defect

Look at where the defect is located

Professional errors are usually symmetrical and correspond to the logic of the production process. Accidental scratches or bumps on the surface look different.

Check the doubling on the same part on all copies of this series.

It is better to identify in the Coin ID Scanner app or send the coin for certification to NGC or PCGS.

Identification and sale

Take high-quality photos.
Compare with the database of known bugs on the PCGS, NGC, and collector forums.
For serious options, consider professional certification.
