killians76 Pillar of the Community United States 985 Posts	Posted 12/19/2008 8:12 pm what could have caused this? 6 pictures, some arent so good but the more area picture is the best one. http://killians76.jalbum.net/alaska%20quarter/ Edited by killians76 12/20/2008 12:45 pm Report this Post to the Staff

KurtS Pillar of the Community United States 5318 Posts	Posted 12/19/2008 9:28 pm I like that...it was definitely on the die and struck that way (imo) Die gouges perhaps? Report this Post to the Staff

rockdude Pillar of the Community United States 1807 Posts	Posted 12/19/2008 10:50 pm I vote die gouges. Couldn't be clash marks, nothing on the obverse that matches. Nice find. Report this Post to the Staff
Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 12/20/2008 07:47 am Can't say what specifically caused it but something hard with some force behind it made a serious scrape across the face of the die. Report this Post to the Staff

BJ Neff Pillar of the Community United States 526 Posts	Posted 12/20/2008 1:53 pm It is believe to be caused by the ejection arm scraping across the die. These lines are most commonly seen on the cent, where they normally run from the northwest to the southeast. However, I think that I have seen pictures of or have run across this type die anomaly on all denominations. I imagine that they could be worth something. Look at the speared Bison or the wounded Eagle; these coins have similar gouges although better placed and command exceptionally high and also unworthy premiums.
