Online Appraisal

D. 2007 Utah state quarter on the obverse looks like a double B in liberty and cud on the bottom of the head on the reverse there is a obvious cud on the right side of the coin any information would be greatly appreciated

Asked on Oct 31, 2021

REVISED ANSWER: The submitter wrote me back with this lovely reply: "Nothing just the fact that you are clearly and idiot when it comes to mint errors I got the coin certified for a cud and double die but your talking about it's just wear and tear... "

To which I will add, I'm VERY clear in my web site that I do NOT specialize in mint errors and prefer people not ask questions about them. And he confirms the reason and illustrates the pitfalls of this hobby very well in this case. Because if he did get a reputable service to certify this coin with the stated errors (questionable, would love him to submit a photo of the coin in the holder, only PCGS, NGC, and ANACS are respected), he just donated a submission fee to that company that surely rivals the value of this coin with its common minor errors. If he wanted to make any money on this coin, he would have been better off describing it as is and selling it raw on eBay; and if he wanted to keep it, he should have saved himself the trouble and expense of submitting it. 

But what do I know, clearly he's the expert here.

FALL ALERT: Mint errors are mistakes made in the production process, related to improperly prepared dies, problems in striking, wrong planchets, etc. There is a current craze in mint errors, much akin to tulips in Holland. Many novice collectors are stubbornly adhering to the notion that well handled coins with circulation wear and/or damage are somehow valuable. Furthermore, there seem to be high-end sales and asking prices in eBay and Etsay. Upon close inspection one can see that many of those coins are common, uncertified (not that certification is a necessity), and sell with just one bid from sellers that have single-digit feedback counts. This should be a sign that there is some kind of trickery at work. I'm sorry so many individuals have brought shame on themselves on behalf of the hobby. Let's all work to make this situation better.
