J P M Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 I found this going through my quarters before hitting the bank today. This particular Quarter is known for having these type of marks from excessive grease in the die. I just wanted to post it for new members to see. Is it a error that got away ? Is it worth money, 25c for sure. After that anyone who wants it maybe will pay ? tj96 and Numismatic, A.A.S. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look for doubling in this area of the saddle horn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J P M Posted January 21, 2022 Author Share Posted January 21, 2022 Yes you are correct TJ. There are a lot of state and park quarters with doubling on the coins. It is fun to find them but most are so small they do not add a lot of value to the coin. Unless of course you are listening to the coin hype guys on the internet trying to get clicks.

GBrad Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 (edited) Hey @J P Mashoke. I'm having a little trouble with this one. In looking at the obverse, if this was a grease affected strike (greaser, struck through, etc....), it would have surely affected the letters TY in LIBERTY. These letters appear well struck, with good relief, yet the area of distortion on the obverse encompasses these letters. It's hard to tell from your pic if this distorted area is raised or incuse (speaking only about the obverse at this point). If it is incuse, and being that the letters are not affected, I would start leaning toward some type of planchet error/issue. Just my thoughts here.

J P M Posted January 21, 2022 Author Share Posted January 21, 2022 (edited) Anything is possible the areas are incuse. I think it did affect the letters a bit because they have the same pothole texture type finish .I think the grease was just squeezed out of the letter impressions and then out on to the field. I took some more shots 2 with the phone and 2 on a angle with the scope to try to show the edge of where the field drops down. I also have another coin I will dig out of the same date that are also in the same area oddly enough Edited January 21, 2022 by J P Mashoke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J P M Posted January 21, 2022 Author Share Posted January 21, 2022 Here is another coin very similar just not as large a area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
