Coin and Paper Money Collecting/MINT ERROR QUARTER

Question
I HAVE A QUARTER, 1983, THAT LOOKS LIKE IT WAS STAMPED TWICE ON EACH SIDE.  ANY IDEA HOW I CAN GO ABOUT FINDING OUT IF IT'S WORTH ANYTHING?  YOUR HELP IS GREATLY APPRECIATED!  -LAURA

Answer
Hello Laura,  

This is an error worth looking at. If it is Mechanical doubling it has not added value but if it is another type or if it was rotated and struck again it carries a higher premium as much as $50 has been paid but $10 is more common. The value rule is the greater the error the greater the value.

to find out what yours may be worth it would have to be seen to be accurately appraised. A photograph would not really help with this. If you write back with the general location (nearest large cities) and telephone area code or codes and some zip codes in your area, I can direct you to an AMERICAN NUMISMATIC ASSOCIATION MEMBER/DEALER near there. They are ethical and trustworthy. I hope this information Helps.
