Die cracks, chips, DDD, extreme metal flow lines etc, can all be caused from worn/deteriorated dies, but are not errors. Just simply a product of worn dies. Some bring small premiums (some larger/well placed die cracks, chips) while most others do not. Edited by Ty2020b 10/25/2020 01:11 am Report this Post to the Staff

Could be an early onset of "detail-erasing die wear", only documented on two Harpers Ferry Quarters. There is also the possibility it is simply Die Deterioration & nothing more. Would need some die markers to rule out either or. Interesting? Yes. Error? Not in my book. Report this Post to the Staff

There were some examples from that year that were found with extreme unprecedented die wear, and these are worth a premium: https://www.coinworld.com/news/prec...uarters.html Yours does not seem to be this severe, but the die was on its way. -CH27 Collector of U.S. Coins, Varieties, and Colonial Coinage Report this Post to the Staff
