I recently searched a box of quarters from the bank which was mostly new 2026 Revolutionary War quarters. In case you haven't seen them yet, here is what they look like:
I noticed that all of them appeared to be from 4 distinct die pairings, so I sorted and counted them all. Here are the counts:
(A) Speck Above Hat - 308
(B) Line Above Hat + US - 406
(C) Chip In Hat + US - 410
(D) Chip Above TRUST - 252
Below are close up images of the anomalies on each type. A few types have very similar issues, but upon close inspection appear to be different dies (at least, they look that way to me). All of the issues are located in the same area of the coins, which centers around the bottom of Washington's bust above the word TRUST (obverse), and near the top of the tricorn hat (reverse).
(A) Speck Above Hat
A small chip or gouge above the tricorn hat on the reverse.
No issues on the obverse.
(B) Line Above Hat + US
A wavy line crosses OF above the tricorn hat, and more waviness appears near the front tip of the hat on the reverse.
A very narrow crack loops across US from TRUST on the obverse.
(C) Chip In Hat + US
Die chip inside the back of the tricorn hat on the reverse.
The chip can be seen getting worse.
I found at least 3 states of this chip. I didn't inspect all of the coins up close or try to catalog every possible state.
A slightly more pronounced crack looping over US from TRUST on the obverse. Very similar to (B), but not quite the same.
(D) Chip Above TRUST
A more significant chip in the recess between Washington's bust and TRUST on the obverse.
I found at least 2 states of this chip (see the wing on the right side). I didn't check all of the coins, it's possible there are more states in my pile.
A wavy line above the tricorn hat on the reverse, similar to (B).
