with a good description or pictures, I should be able to identify and value
any U.S. coin you have.

Question this isn't the 4:00 quarter i've read about. however, i've noticed a circle/ring inside the back of the quarter that's concentric to the quarter, but runs through the "R" in New River [Gorge] and around the bottom of the words "West Virginia." maybe it's just a scratch of some sort, but i wanted to check to see if this was a known mint mark, and if the quarter has any value. thanks!
Answer Jen,
Generally, concentric circle indentations like this are caused by a mal-adjusted coin wrapping machine. When wrapping coins into rolls, if the machine is adjusted to tightly, it will cut a groove into the coin on the end. I see this alot on quarter rolls -- I sell alot of rolls.
