Good morning to all. I came across this 2015 North Carolina quarter last being and noticed areas of red/copper tone color. I happened to have a closer look at it this morning and found there was 3 cracks (starting at collar behind "U & N" in United, behind "D" in United and behind "E & S" in States) intersecting at Washingtons ear, where they branch off (one going straight across ending at the edge behind the "I" in America, one angling down to the "P" mint mark, ending at the edge behind the foot of "R" in Dollar, one angling down ending at the edge behind the "L" in Liberty and the first "R" in Quarter). I flipped the coin left to right where I found 2 cracks started again, one behind the "S" in Plugin is, where you can see where it crosses the road, and the other behind the "Y" in Parkway going over the over pass ending at the edge behind "B" in Blue. The bleeding is visible. Is this listed anywhere? I also have a 1999 Connecticut P that is the same but only on the obverse. Here are a few pictures and I hope they are well enough for you to have a good look I thank you all for your opinions that you share with me....   |

Pics are too blurry for me,sorry. But going with these pics,it looks like staining to me. I can't really see the cracks. John1  |

There is no cracks, just staning from Environmental Damage. Your Quarter is worth only face value.
Errers and Varietys.

I put this coin on here to share with you and the obvious is in the pictures. I value and respect your opinion just from looking at a picture but at 46 years old I know what a crack is that is bleeding and staining the coin which is right in the picture as well again I thank you for your opinion and have a Happy New Year

When I find a bad looking coin, I automatically goes back into circulation with even a look at it. If you did find something on it, would anyone buy it? That is the question I ask myself when going through coins.

That would be like buying a coin that says "In God we Rust" instead of "In God We Trust" because you know that's misspelled so why would you buy that am I correct? Or a lamination, Cud, die breaks, die chips? I mean how could you look at a coin with that stuff on there and buy that knowing that it's not supposed to be on there isn't that the same as what you're telling me? |
