arby96 Pillar of the Community United States 2090 Posts	Posted 05/02/2025 11:54 am Hello all, While CRH a box of quarters yesterday. I pulled these two 2024 P and D Tallchief's. These are showing the die chip between the pony tails. A lot of these type of verities happen at only one mint. Like the die chip on top of George Washington hat on the reverse of Washing crossing the Delaware Quarter. That verity only occurs from the Philadelphia Mint. Not one has shown up from the Denver Mint. It was nice pulling one from each mint. Just thought I would share. [ "LOVE THE HUNT!" Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 33166 Posts	Posted 05/02/2025 12:41 pm Interesting observation about some die chips showing up at one mint only. Since the designs of the dies are the same (except of course for the mintmark), I would expect that different mints would produce coins with similar die chips (of course in proportion to their overall output).

arby96 Pillar of the Community United States 2090 Posts	Posted 05/07/2025 12:36 pm Nice discussion, I believe one would have to admit that the Philadelphia mint has more issues with these type of verities. They just seem to produce these types of coins. What do you all think? "LOVE THE HUNT!" Report this Post to the Staff
fortcollins Pillar of the Community United States 3087 Posts	Posted 05/07/2025 1:05 pm The type, speed, and striking pressure of the coining press may also make a difference. Denver has been using Schuler horizontal presses for two decades. I believe Philadelphia switched to the Schuler presses more recently. Here is a 2015 video of a Schuler press striking silver rounds at a private facility. This press apparently was purchased from the Denver Mint, and would have been one of the earlier Schuler models used in Denver. The current models in Denver have faster production capacity. hg_vxkIHWSc Report this Post to the Staff
