Igotit Valued Member United States 61 Posts	Posted 07/13/2019 09:34 am I was wondering if these squarish marks are die markers on the front and back of this quarter. Report this Post to the Staff

BStrauss3 Pillar of the Community United States 4593 Posts	Posted 07/13/2019 10:48 am A die marker is some detail that is used to distinguish between dies. Back when dies where hand finished, the shape of a leaf or an extra/misplaced dot can be used to tell them apart with great accuracy. Less so with modern dies, because there are so many used and there is much less hand work. If you are talking about the marks in front of George's lips - that's just a contact mark (damage) from the reeding of another coin as they were dumped into or out of the giant bags or counting machines... -----Burton 50+ year / Life / Emeritus ANA member (joined 12/1/1973) Life member: Numismatics International, CONECA Member: TNA, FtWCC, NETCC, EveryCountry (online) coin club Owned by three cats and a wife of 40+ years (joined 1983) Author: 3rd Edition of the Sample Slabs book, https://www.sampleslabs.info/ Report this Post to the Staff
