NGiles Pillar of the Community United States 527 Posts	Posted 04/23/2008 9:41 pm Yes, they are made from the same die, or it could be a defect in the Hub. If it is a Hub defect, it will be present on the majority if not all of the Oklahoma quarters. Report this Post to the Staff

chuckster 125 Pillar of the Community United States 4113 Posts	Posted 05/04/2008 4:10 pm Just found another identical marking regarding these quarters. Die chip in the lower portion of the diagonal N of In God We Trust on the Obverse- in addition to the others already posted. No one on E-Bay has these particular errors on Oklahoma Sstate quarters listed for sale- they are listing the extra leaf/extra wing/semi-clogged b etc. Curious: Has anyonelse found one of these quarters that I have listed?

foundinrolls Pillar of the Community United States 3507 Posts	Posted 05/04/2008 11:05 pm The design of the Oklahoma quarters has so many inherent weaknesses that small die chips develop on many parts of the coin. It reminds me of there Jefferson nickels in the 1960s where die chips would develop above the letters of LIBERTY. It did not prove that the coins were struck by the same dies. While your coins may have been, it is more likely that hundreds of thousands of coins all over the country will exhibit the same types of anomalies because the design is flawed and has so many potential places for chips to develop.

coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 05/04/2008 11:59 pm It's very likely those two coins are from the same die...but that adds nothing to their value. Report this Post to the Staff
chuckster 125 Pillar of the Community United States 4113 Posts	Posted 05/05/2008 12:43 am But- it also doesn't take away from their value -so I'm still at least even! :) Thanks and have a Happy! Report this Post to the Staff
