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

Question Hi, I have just started looking into coins so I don't know if I have any coins that are worth anything. I have a 1978 quarter in relatively good condition. The error is in the mint mark on the face side- the mint mark is a "D" but the inside of the D is filled in with metal instead of being pushed through. When the letter isn't fully printed right, is that valuable?
Answer Tatyana,
That filled letter error is caused by overuse and extensive wear of the die -- the little piece of metal that is the middle of the die either wore away or broke off, and all coins made after that will have that filled D.
Collector interest is very low for this -- value at less than a dollar.
