gsp193 Pillar of the Community United States 975 Posts	Posted 10/14/2021 10:20 pm I thought this is an interesting Quarter. Several die cracks. I believe 3 on obverse and 6 on reverse. Report this Post to the Staff

CoinHI Pillar of the Community United States 2734 Posts	Posted 10/14/2021 11:24 pm Nice find, that is a lot of die cracks. Looks on its way to being a shattered die. It doesn't look listed so you might try submitting it. http://cuds-on-coins.com/washington...s-1932-1999/ "Pride is yoked with callous behavior, as humility is with compassion."

Bumpkin Pillar of the Community United States 509 Posts	Posted 10/15/2021 12:53 am 100% absolute die cracks all the way around. I don't think I have ever seen any coin with so many die cracks. Excellent observation in noticing this gsp! Report this Post to the Staff
gsp193 Pillar of the Community United States 975 Posts	Posted 10/15/2021 01:17 am Thanks Bumpkin, it's the most I have seen on a single coin but as you know I just started looking at coins so was unsure how common that many cracks is. Plus I can see those where DD I cannot! lol Report this Post to the Staff
Bumpkin Pillar of the Community United States 509 Posts	Posted 10/15/2021 01:27 am Like I said.... Once you find that first doubled die you will never look back! I promise! It's like hunting for Wild Ginseng. Once you see it wild in the woods, you can then spot it from a mile away. (OK... that is a whole different adventure) Edited by Bumpkin 10/15/2021 01:28 am Report this Post to the Staff
ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19176 Posts	Posted 10/15/2021 08:15 am Nice example--die crack city. Suggest a gentle acetone soak. Report this Post to the Staff
Wrekkdd Pillar of the Community Canada 3328 Posts	Posted 10/15/2021 09:03 am @bupkin, wild ginseng is rare to spot but if you know it you know it. Also unfortunately completely illegal to harvest wild ginseng in Ontario. And at 500$+ poachers are an issue-_-. As for the OPs coin, very nice that is a lot of die cracks.

Wrekkdd Pillar of the Community Canada 3328 Posts	Posted 10/15/2021 09:38 am Don't forget to rinse with fresh acetone after soaking:) Report this Post to the Staff
gsp193 Pillar of the Community United States 975 Posts	Posted 10/15/2021 2:01 pm oh ok I did not know to rinse with fresh Acetone! I thought distilled water! Thanks will do! Report this Post to the Staff
Wrekkdd Pillar of the Community Canada 3328 Posts	Posted 10/15/2021 2:16 pm You could be right with distilled water, I have heard both talked about. Report this Post to the Staff
