2000 P SACAGAWEA "WOUNDED EAGLE" & STATE QUARTERS

[errorist]

Why does the 2000 P Sac get the name "Wounded Eagle" on ANACS holders but not on PCGS or NGC holders? If it is good enough for Sacagawea's then why not State Quarters? Other coins do have such die cracks but, they are not as spectacular as these. They are not in interesting places of the design that alters the overall look of the coin.

"Wounded Eagle" - ouch. Couldn't they come up with another term? It somehow sounds unpatriotic.

Sounds like it but, it is actually very fitting for the coin. It does look like an arrow was shot through the Eagle.

How about "crippled eagle"...

[errorist]

No a "Crippled Eagle" would need a wheel chair but a "Wounded Eagle" can still fly with the arrow in him/her.

Without going into great details it was a "ploy", if you must, to "hype" the die crack for the purpose of creating large profits within a large (unnamed) numismatic orginization.

Jason,

Hardly a ploy to to let such fine error gems go unnoticed. To date I have made $75.00 selling a sigle coin. Some large profit. Coins like this must be hyped. If not they get stored away in box never to be seen again.Any thoughts?

I guess to each their own. For me, die cracks on coins are markers for varieties. Really tho, I am just not much of a fan of die cracks. Sry if my post was misinterpreted. I personally prefer dramatic striking errors when it comes to error coins but there is certainly nothing wrong with the smaller die errors either.

 

The dramatic proof die cracks are most certainly coming into the spotlight as of late and bring a great premium over their original numismatic value, as they should.

Jason,

I have been collecting the types you mention also, and have had some unexpected surprises in doing so.I have won two triple struck coins that I thought were single, and double struck. Sorry If I misunderstood you. Error coins are so interesting to me. Hey, you guys need a forum at that Coneca web site so we can chime in from time to time.
