cheifbrody Valued Member United States 127 Posts	Posted 11/26/2016 09:59 am A 2016-Harpers Ferry State Quarter...the coin has little wear on it...but Washington's head has much less detail compared to other quarters...a weak strike? Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 11/26/2016 10:11 am The strike look full. But the die may have had a slight amount of grease in it so the spaghetti hair is not as noticeable. It seems that the devices on the head are getting weaker. They may not be hubbing as deep as they used to. But I'm leaning more towards the struck through issue. Report this Post to the Staff
Jovian Valued Member United States 147 Posts	Posted 11/26/2016 8:10 pm I have noticed that the majority of National Park Quarters I have seen so far have been weak around Washington's head. I do not know if this is the case, but I have been through a few thousand dollars worth of National Park Quarters in the past two years and it seems hard to find a strongly struck head. The text is usually strong and the head weak. Report this Post to the Staff

cheifbrody Valued Member United States 127 Posts	Posted 11/27/2016 09:40 am I think I would agree with a strike through issue...maybe a majority of state park quarters do not have a strong strike around the head...but this one is significantly weaker. Report this Post to the Staff
Jeanine76 New Member United States 1 Posts	Posted 01/08/2017 8:11 pm Hi, I'm new to this site. I also have a National Parks coin - 2013. Is it also a strike error? Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 01/08/2017 8:18 pm Looks like the obverse was sanded off. (you can see the die scratches) If it were a struck through error, this would not be present. Report this Post to the Staff
Halo1st Pillar of the Community United States 2775 Posts	Posted 01/08/2017 10:03 pm Jeanine76, seems the abrasions / damage to the bust was applied to the coin after strike. Thanks, Doug. Report this Post to the Staff
