Question
Greetings, I would like to know your opinion of this coin,
)
value shall be error?
Thanks for your time
Hi Cancio:
Thanks for your question.
You have a off centered strike quarter. This would have a approximate retail value of between $10 to $20 to an interested error collector, depending on the the condition. Dated strikes are worth a little more. This error happens when a blank planchet does not fully enter into the die chamber when struck. The portion outside misses getting any image on the blank.
You may want to check ebay listings under US coins in the error category to see if your errors are listed and what they are going for. You may also want to check out these links on error coin values:

If you live close to a local shop, they should offer an opinion as to the value at no charge. Always try and get at least two opinions and try and deal with PNG dealers if possible. If you should decide to sell your items to a dealer, remember they will offer about 50% to 60% of the retail value. Here's a link to find one in your area: http://www.pngdealers.com/dealersearch.php
