cterry56 New Member United States 9 Posts	Posted 09/23/2025 02:29 am Good Morning, this is the second 1776-1976 quarter in my collection. This quarter has a chunk missing out of the torch holder. you can see it under the flame and this quarter the drummer does not have an extra knuckle. Thank you for your response cterry56 Report this Post to the Staff

You may have Machine Doubling showing as well. Errers and Varietys. Edited by Errers and Varietys 09/23/2025 06:26 am Report this Post to the Staff
JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21663 Posts	Posted 09/23/2025 06:22 am I think that is Machine Doubling, a worthless type of doubling common on coins. You can also see it on the stars and some of the lettering. Report this Post to the Staff

Greasy Fingers Pillar of the Community United States 7107 Posts	Posted 09/23/2025 3:48 pm Flame separated from torch....looks like the cause may have been due to over polishing of the die. "Chunk" missing most likely from a hit while in circulation and if it's raised....that would be a die chip.....If mine I would spend it. to CCF...good luck with your collection and future finds, have fun and keep asking when needed...
