Hello everyone,

I have 1976 bicentennial quarter that I'm not sure its damaged or is a die break. I could use better eyes than mine. The placement of the break on the edge of the Washington design so it was a bit difficult to photograph correctly so these are the best pictures I managed with my current camera.

Definitely a die crack. It may be the listed spike head but cannot tell what the other end looks like on yours. Check out the listed coin (SKH-25c-1976D-01).

That's a common place for Washington quarter obverse dies to crack. That's a nice big one, good find! =)

Thanks for confirmation everyone.

I did check the link "Makecents" this break didn't reach the rim like on the mentioned listing. Thank you for the link.
