CharPDX214 Valued Member United States 113 Posts	Posted 01/04/2023 7:41 pm I have posted about this quarter before, but upon further inspection and a bit more knowledge from you guys. I have found a few things that I need professional eyes on. It looks to me as if there is a crack forming on the top portion of Washington's head? I also see a small crack coming off of the letter N and through the I in the words In God We Trust. The quarter looks very worn so it was a bit rough getting pictures. Hopefully my coin microscope will be here this weekend so I can get clean close up photos. Report this Post to the Staff

-makecents- Pillar of the Community United States 8724 Posts	Posted 01/04/2023 8:03 pm That is an extremely worn die and nice cracks. There will be nothing listed, as I know though. You will find many cracks, on many coins but to be listed, as far as what I directed you to before, they must meet the rim and the bust. -makecents- Edited by -makecents- 01/04/2023 8:40 pm Report this Post to the Staff

CharPDX214 Valued Member United States 113 Posts	Posted 01/04/2023 8:15 pm So would the crack in the letters be listed or a candidate for listing? It looks as if it reaches the rim. Report this Post to the Staff
-makecents- Pillar of the Community United States 8724 Posts	Posted 01/04/2023 8:38 pm Look at the definition at the top and answer me back. I edited my reply above. It must go from the rim to somewhere of the bust. Must reach each. LINK http://cuds-on-coins.com/spike-head/ -makecents- Edited by -makecents- 01/04/2023 8:41 pm Report this Post to the Staff
CharPDX214 Valued Member United States 113 Posts	Posted 01/04/2023 8:55 pm Okay I see the definition there. It definitely does not make it anywhere near the bust. I will put this with the other die cracked quarters I find. Thanks for the clarification. Report this Post to the Staff

silviosi Pillar of the Community Canada 6244 Posts	Posted 01/04/2023 9:25 pm Look for the markers of DDO for this year and previous or the next year. 1981, 82 and 83 they use the same Master hub Die. Report this Post to the Staff
