Decided to look through my proof sets and stumbled on what appears to me to be a rather significant die crack on the reverse of a 63 quarter. I looked to see if it had a page on variety vista but found nothing resembling it. So, wondering if anyone is familiar with this. Thanks in advance. The crack starts in the rim just above to the left of the final S in STATES, it travels down through the S, into the B in PLURIBUS, where it takes a left, traveling under I, through R and U, where it seems to end. I didn't notice any other distinguishing points on the coin, and it is in beautiful condition. Any ideas? I'm not crazy, this is a die crack, right? Thanks again! -Kyle Report this Post to the Staff
