angellionel Valued Member United States 191 Posts	Posted 03/03/2016 10:29 pm I was taking a close look at this 1928 Standing Liberty quarter with my loupe when I noticed what appears to be a scooped area between L and I in LIBERTY. It does not look to be post-mint damage, and in fact there also appears to be a die crack extending from that area up to and over the letter B. Perhaps my eyes are just playing tricks on me, but I was wondering if anyone recognizes this as a known die error. Report this Post to the Staff

Numisma Pillar of the Community United States 4963 Posts	Posted 03/04/2016 09:33 am I don't think it's a die crack, since it's incuse. Just PMD in my opinion. Even if it were a strike-through or something, it wouldn't put much of premium on the coin in that condition. Report this Post to the Staff

angellionel Valued Member United States 191 Posts	Posted 03/04/2016 7:40 pm Thanks everyone! That helps. Seeing that the line going over the letters is raised and not grooved, as a scratch would show, had me thinking it could be a die error. Report this Post to the Staff

Thankfully the date remained visible after its years in circulation and before being lost. Report this Post to the Staff
