Hinkle Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 Hello everyone, I'm thinking this could possibly be eight tail feathers, I could be wrong though. What would be your thoughts. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWB Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 (edited) A little manual retouching on the reverse die. Quite common on proof Washington quarters. If you look in the book United States Proof Coins 1936-1942 by Roger W. Burdette You'll find lots of photos of retouching on all denominations of proof coins. Processes were similar from 1950-1964, too. (Or -- maybe they fell off a nearby 1878 8TF silver dollar...?)
