Here's a Photoshop overlay of the Washington quarter. It should help solve the problem. Click on the picture for a larger image It also looks like the eagle has just started to spit. Maybe a spot of drool? ANA ID: 3203813 - CONECA ID: N-5637 Clean a coin that may be worth collecting? Please DON'T! When in doubt, leave it dirty!!

Yep, nice clash. good find. Could there also be Feeder Finger Damage on the reverse left side in the field under the wing? |

Thanks Dearborn. I'm leaning towards heavy die abrasion although it could be either or both. I was looking for some pics where you can see the clash being adraded but can't find them yet. I've seen this on a few quarters of that era

There are some remnants of a spitting eagle that I thought could have been removed by abrasion but looks like it's all Feeder Finger Damage. I think I was wrong and Dearborn was correct about the lines being from the feeder finger only. Here's one before the damage  |

@RW IMO it is not an FF. When I look close seem to be an R die was loose a little bit. (like on observe the MD) The die was in the stage of deterioration on high relief of the Reverse. Your coin it is the normal reverse die for this year, so it is no variety, Overall nice coin.
I can congrat to have so sharp eye for see some differences between the new die and use die..

Thanks Silviosi. These are different coins with similar die clashes. I found 3 1998s and one 1997. Spent one of them. Just like a spitting eagle but on the opposite end. MS spitting eagles are on the PCGS price guide
