Question
I was just going through my wallet and discovered a Quarter (Connecticut 1999).  Tree side is the usual silver in color, the face side is copper.  Is this type of coin something collector's would be looking for?  What would the value of a coin like this be?

Answer
Hi Kris, yes, this is an error coin worth something.
The type and extent of the error influences the value as well as amount of wear and collector demand. It is listed on 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 .
