Hey guys so I don't typically search quarters as of lately but I happened to put these aside and happened to find some interesting errors. Found a Cud, I believe is what it's called, on washingtons neck near initials. Also, one has a line running through the date and it's kinda hard to see in the picture but the numbers look fine with no damage. The error on the edge of the coin is raised or something and I have the same error on two coins. So, it's got to be significant I believe. Does anyone know if these are recognized at all or just something not important?     Edited by Amos334

 to CCF. Not a Cud,die chip. A Cud always includes the rim. If only on the rim,it is a rim Cud. If it starts on the rim and goes into the fields it is a Cud. No added value on your coin. John1  |

to CCF Quote:Found a Cud, I believe is what it's called, on washingtons neck near initials and it's hard to make out Not a Cud since a Cud will always involve the rim of the coin. Most likely a die chip. It is really hard to see from your pictures because of the glare a Die gouge is mostly like the line you are seeing through the date - is it under the numbers and also is it raised? The mark on the rim I believe is PSD (Post strike damage) the quarter just got hit or hit something else - in others words just a dent. Hope this helps and feel free to ask more questions. |

Agreeing with die chip on Washington's neck and PMD (likely a hit) on the rim. I believe the line under the date may be roller damage. The date is incuse in this design, which is why it was unaffected. |

Thanks for the responses and clarifying some things. I found two quarters that are identical with the edge looking this way between liberty and dollar so I don't think it just got a dent because the rim itself is very nice. The initials are referred to as a Die crack? The line on the back on 2017 is not raised It's kind of indented in there but not scratched and that's caused by roller damage? I thought I found something good haha. I'm still trying to learn this stuff so thanks for the help.

Just wanted to share the the die chip I found on this 2017 Effigy quarter. It has been suggested that it is PMD. If it is where did the extra metal come from?  |

Die chips actually aren't PSD. The die that is being used to strike coins has developed a gouge or small break that allows metal to fill into areas of the coin that aren't intended to be part of the design. They show up as raised, typically amorphous anomalies. Similarly, die cracks are raised on the coin, but are more trough-like. The bottom of Washington's neck near the initials is a common place for this to occur. |

And no extra metal. Same amount of metal as a normal coin. John1 |
