Question
Hi, I have a 2002 Indiana State Quarter, where one side is the usual shiny silver, the Indiana side is dull, like it did not get a final coat?  There is a copper rim on the shiny side. Everything else appears normal, the shiny side is of George Washington.  The George Washington side has a p on it.  Thank you for your time!

Sincerely
Sharon

Answer
Hi Sharon,

If it is a one-sided unfinished planchet error, it is very popular and sought after, and will be worth $300 to $400 if certified.

If it is just an altered coin, it will not have any value.

Check the following websites for details on how to submit for certification :

Expertise

My strong familiarity with all U.S. Mint coins, extensive reference library, and close relationships with many other dealers allows me to identify just about any coin made in the USA. I receive regular updates to all the current price guides -- both wholesale & retail -- to provide accurate values. So, with a good description or pictures, I should be able to identify and value any U.S. coin you have.

Experience

I've been a coin dealer since the 1980's and a coin collector since the 1960's. I specialize in U.S. Silver Coins and have an active online website -- The Working Man's Rare Coins -- http://www.workingmancoins.com -- offering information and inventory in U.S. coins.
