I had to take pictures from different angles because some of the silhouette can only be seen from this or that one. Report this Post to the Staff

Kawliga Valued Member United States 212 Posts	Posted 06/30/2019 10:52 am I have no idea. They're my favorite kind of error but they're not universally popular like doubled dies, and there's no registry of ones to watch for or anything like that, unless I just don't know about it. It's not a fluke event like Machine Doubling, because a die that has clashed will then produce coins like this until a worker notices and fixes it. But the initial clash itself is kinda rare I guess.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 06/30/2019 1:57 pm The so called "Spitting eagle" Is the name given to this. People think they are valuable. While interesting, I would never buy one. But I'm a variety purist. It is just a die event. A clash. Report this Post to the Staff
Kawliga Valued Member United States 212 Posts	Posted 07/01/2019 12:37 am I didn't know the spitting eagle is a die clash, but it makes sense. Of course this is a 72 not a 83 so I wasn't even thinking 'spitting eagle'. Ha to me there is no "just" about it being a die clash. I think they're a thousand times cooler than any doubled die. I had so much fun studying this coin and figuring out what was what. They're like ghosts. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 07/02/2019 7:37 pm The reverses general devices on the quarter stay pretty much the same. The 1976 was a different reverse and the 1999 thought today as different reverses. But they are pretty much the same whether a 83 or a 72. http://www.varietyvista.com/09a%20W...arieties.htm Edited by coop 07/02/2019 7:38 pm Report this Post to the Staff
