Bogiesmokes Valued Member United States 197 Posts	Posted 01/23/2022 1:39 pm Hey all, I was pleasantly surprised to find one of these 'varieties' with part of the reverse initials covered by an 'extra leaf'. I don't think I see anything else out of the ordinary but figured I'd post to make sure. I hope the full pic of the reverse is visible enough to scan. Many thanks! *Chip, not Cud...thanks ijn and Dearborn Edited by Bogiesmokes 01/23/2022 2:00 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 97379 Posts	Posted 01/23/2022 1:52 pm Yup, looks like a chip that took out the designers initials. Here is an image of my coin and what it should look like normally.

Parnelli917 Valued Member United States 392 Posts	Posted 01/24/2022 09:27 am I had an uncirculated roll of these quarters. Probably 10% had this chip. Some are minor and others cover the initials completely. I researched and found that the cactus plants above the date would sometimes cover part of the date with a large die chip. None of mine had the date chip. I haven't seen a lot of examples online. Die chips don't carry a lot of value, but I like this one because it infringes on the designers initials. Nice find!

SamCoin Pillar of the Community United States 3237 Posts	Posted 01/24/2022 10:16 am Quite common, but I do set them aside as this is a popular die event that will sell on ebay (mostly for the catchy name, I suspect, since it's incredibly minor and of little numismatic significance) Report this Post to the Staff
