Cracked another 6 boxes last week, and found 7 W's out of 4 boxes. 4-2019W, and 3-2020W, 3-Mission, 1-War in the Pacific, 1-Salt water Bay, 1-Weir Farm and 1-National Park. Also found a few more varieties, My second, what I am calling two Chimneys Die Chip, I tried to find someone else who located one of the varieties, haven't seen any other posts. Could be out there. Massive die break on a Alaska Bear Claw, Two different North Dakota Varieties. Another Arizona, and two more Nevada, one has the die chips between the rear legs and also on one of the horses Hoofs, First time seeing this type variety on the horses hoof. Found a bunch of the Die Chip between the legs and above tail.             "LOVE THE HUNT!"

No other post on quarter searching? I searched 5 boxes, 4 contained 7 W's, 1-19W Lowell, 3-2020W National Parks, 2-2020W Weir Farms, 1-2020W Tall Grass. Also Pulled 2-Silver Quarters, 1-1951D and 1-1964D. Plus more varieties, similar to the others I have posted before. Also found my first Counterstamped Quarter, RWE on Reverse, and SUCKED ORANGE on Reverse, Have any of you seen this one before? What I do find interesting is the stages of these varieties. From an early stage of the Die Breaks to the late stage of the Die Breaks. So a set can be put together showing the progression of the breaks. I tried to find out how many dies are used to Mint a coin series and could not locate that number as of yet. I noticed in films by the mint there is someone looking at coins to check if the coin is stamped properly, I see them spot checking coins and I'm left wondering why they are allowing these Die Break coins through their inspection? I understand they are minting millions of coins, I checking tens of thousands of coins and locating them. Just a thought.     "LOVE THE HUNT!"

Amazing finds arby96; I will be getting one box of quarters soon hopefully, if the bank can order them. Also my bank is very good with placing coin orders, so I think that I will hopefully be able to get quarters soon.

Nothing special for you guys but over here in Canada I don't come across I many State Quarters. Found this one today(first American in about 30 quarter rolls) it is probably one of the best shape State Quarters I have come across and I also did not have this one yet:) I think I have about 60% of all State Quarters minus proofs and have never seen a W lol.   On a side plus not I also got another 68 silver dime in a roll today so the quarter was a nic bonus considering the. Bank only had 2 customer wrap rolls for me yesterday |

Here is a Maryland Quarter I found while searching for W's. Check out the WE in God WE TRUST. Something got in the way of the die when the coin was struck or something else. could this be more than PMD? That continuous line running down the E appears to be a single line. There is defiantly some damage there.   "LOVE THE HUNT!"

I am pretty certain that this is just a very several scrape from something, definitely PMD |

Here is another interesting quarter to me. Its a 2019D War in the Pacific. This is most likely a mechanical double, separated points, Which I read means its a double die.. With that being stated. I think its a MD. Both pics are basically the same just with different amounts of light added. Please let me know what you think.   "LOVE THE HUNT!"
