Question
I was just recently going through the change i received as tips from the dunkin donuts that i work at and as i was picking quarters out of the pile of change i found a 1999 Connecticut quarter that appears to be miscut. the coin has obvious circulation marks but it doesn't look like it was damaged by any sort sort of machine after it was put into circulation. i was just wondering if this quarter has any sort of value whatsoever. thank you

Hi Matthew, The type and extent of the error influences the value as well as amount of wear and collector demand. You might try the Error Coins link on this web site: http://coinsite.com/ or http://www.jimscoins.net/error_coin_examples.php .
You might take it by a local coin shop for a first hand opinion: http://find.mapmuse.com/interest/coin_dealers .
