snailking1 Pillar of the Community United States 1354 Posts	Posted Yesterday 2:11 pm In my limited time of quarter CRH, I haven't come across very many Washington / Eagle quarters with die trails. A culmination of time, wear, polishing scratches, etc, have made many of the trails somewhat hard to distinguish, but, still strong on "WE" Report this Post to the Staff

CoinHI Pillar of the Community United States 2740 Posts	Posted Yesterday 7:52 pm I'm unconvinced these are trails but rather die scrapes of some sort. I say this because we see the lines extending through the W. "Pride is yoked with callous behavior, as humility is with compassion."

Honestly, die scrapes were my first thought when I saw it. The reason I went for die trails: Only the line extending down into the center of the W is close to matching the line below the W. That, could potentially come off the center of the T. I tried to get a pic to try and show it (what a dog of a project that was! ) All that said: It certainly could still be a die scrape Thank You.

CoinHI Pillar of the Community United States 2740 Posts	Posted Yesterday 9:40 pm Light N/S scratches by the throat show perhaps we are seeing evidence of a clash polishing. What does the field above the nose and in front of the eye look like? Your photos are pretty good btw. "Pride is yoked with callous behavior, as humility is with compassion."

HGK3 Pillar of the Community United States 574 Posts	Posted Yesterday 9:42 pm I agree that die scrapes are more likely. Trails usually come off the corners and characteristically lean at a steep angle away from their point of origin. Report this Post to the Staff
snailking1 Pillar of the Community United States 1354 Posts	Posted Yesterday 10:09 pm CoinHI I believe you've convinced me. Trying to manipulate lighting to get some more pics, I saw a couple more scrapes which I had missed (they are "hidden" in a field of polishing marks - that's my excuse! ) Since I took them,here are some more pics, including marking a couple scrapes I missed. Quote: Your photos are pretty good btw. Thank You Quote: I agree that die scrapes are more likely. Guess I was thinking more about Feeder Finger Damage, which I thought is usually on an angle, not N/S like these. Thank You! I like being challenged to figure out why I made an incorrect assessment.
