Papadoc75 Valued Member United States 441 Posts	Posted 06/20/2016 10:59 pm This is my second Homestead Quarter pocket change find. Appears to be a nice die chip and crack on left side roof and a small chip near the chimney. Sorry for the blur on the chimney pic. Almost threw it into the change jar and decided to check it for s**** & giggles. Report this Post to the Staff

CelticKnot Bedrock of the Community United States 12853 Posts	Posted 06/21/2016 01:38 am I like the Homestead design, for several reasons. Are varieties from P mint more common than D? So the crinkly shingle on the left is the culprit (die chip/crack) here? I do see a "camelback" (for want of a better word) feature in your close-up. Is that where the suspected crack is, into which (I assume) the metal of the planchet flowed upon striking? Your photo of the chimney is harder to tell but it does appear to be raised metal.

Papadoc75 Valued Member United States 441 Posts	Posted 06/21/2016 08:10 am I'm no expert on these types of errors, but your explanation make sense. IMHO I do believe the gouge running through the chimney is PMD but the small chip to the right of it under my scope does not apear to be a part of that damage. Report this Post to the Staff
Dustin6 Pillar of the Community United States 3516 Posts	Posted 06/21/2016 10:18 am Nice find Papadoc! I rarely get homesteads in change. CelticKnot, for the past 20 or so years, varieties have mostly come out of Philly. Report this Post to the Staff
ChildOfTheWheat Pillar of the Community United States 5828 Posts	Posted 06/21/2016 10:23 am Nice find, one the best quarter with the best design on it I hate living in "D Land" All the Homestead quarters I see here in Nebraska are, ironically, all Denver minted. I'm just lucky that the ONE P homestead quarter in my collection turned out to be the DDR-004, lol... Report this Post to the Staff
Dustin6 Pillar of the Community United States 3516 Posts	Posted 06/21/2016 10:33 am I'm lucky. I live in Illinois and I really get a good mix of both P and D. But you, living in D land have a way better chance of pulling RPM's. Report this Post to the Staff
