Rosalita Valued Member United States 96 Posts	Posted 07/03/2021 12:22 pm Hi guys, I have this 1998 P Washington quarter and noticed that there is a metal piece stuck on the obverse right side at the back of Washington's head. Is this considered an interior die break? If so, is this uncommon on Quarters? I have not seen this before. Report this Post to the Staff

Rosalita Valued Member United States 96 Posts	Posted 07/03/2021 1:42 pm Yes it is an odd place for a die chip. That is why I am wondering how often this occurs? Report this Post to the Staff
