Hi All - I recently acquired a collection of coins from my father and mother. They collected rolls upon rolls of coins for each state. I have some older pieces as well, but I started looking into the errors and seem to have some unusual ones. I will also say, that these are errors on the Georgia 1999 coin and Colorado coin that I cannot find mention of anywhere. The Georgia one is found on two separate coins, so I don't think that is a one-off situation. I have added pictures below of them below side by side a regular quarter from my microscope and would like to know what others think. Thanks!!
All are contact marks. On the two images of the Ribbon, they are incuse. On the third image, the devices are incuse, but the incuse mark shows on the ribbon again.
. Pic 1 and 2 look like very minor die cracks and pic 3 looks like a hit from the edge of another coin. None are errors. Your photos look like pics of a microscope screen,are they? John1
I'd say Pic 1 and 2 are die cracks. Pic 3 looks like contact mark damage, but I'd like a better picture than of the scope screen, it has the shape of a rim burr strike through, but kind of impossible to tell with such a pixelated picture.
I was also wondering about the last one being a strike from something and I started to look at the ribbon on the right of the O seemed different than the one I referenced. I needed an SD card, so I can try to upload better photos as I have a lot of different things I am finding. It is just taking hours to go through the rolls to see what I have. Thank you all for responding so far! Much appreciated!
