Coin Collecting - 2000 New Hampshire Statehood Quarter mis-strike.
Expert: Dan Moore - 9/18/2009
Question Can you give me any information regarding any announcements from the US Mint regarding any 2000 New Hampshire Quarters that were coined from either mint without a mint mark? I have one without a mint mark. In addition the "E" in the "WE" and the "T" of the "TRUST" of the "IN GOD WE TRUST" are also missing. Years ago I seem to recall something about this mis-strike or abnormality but I can't remember much about it. Can you help to refresh my memory? Additionally, what would be the approximate value of this coin at this time? Unfortunately my digital camera will not take an infocus macro picture.

Answer George,
Regardless of what you may have heard, all you have is a relatively common struck-through error. A foreign substance -- like machine grease -- got into the coin die and prevented the full striking of your coin, resulting in missing letters, numbers, and/or other fine details. This happens on all types of coins -- not just New Hampshire quarters.
Collector interest in this type of error is low -- value at about a dollar.
