BufordT1035 New Member United States 14 Posts	Posted 07/25/2022 7:15 pm While checking my change I ran across a 1998 D Quarter with what appears to be an extra talon on the eagles left leg. I am a novice at best regarding error coins so I thought it would be best to get the opinion of experts on this coin forum. I would also like your opinion if this coin is considered a coin worth getting graded based on the possible 4th talon error as opposed to the condition of the coin as a whole. I am attaching photos which I hope are good enough to make a determination. TY in advance Report this Post to the Staff

If the overall size of the area of the foot is normal in size, then it is not a DDR, but just Machine Doubling. Report this Post to the Staff

merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 07/25/2022 9:26 pm I believe it's only a mark of some sort, it it would take a lot more to be worth having it graded. Check eBays sold listings to check relative values. Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 96315 Posts	Posted 07/25/2022 9:29 pm that second image is MUCH better thanks. the mark looks incuse, I'll say that it is a possible circulation hit moving the metal over a bit. I'm going to go research if there is any match. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

Dearborn Moderator United States 96315 Posts	Posted 07/25/2022 9:32 pm I'm going to say after comparing other 1988 quarters, the talon is thinner (probably cut into 2 pieces by a hit) Collecting since 1972.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 07/28/2022 12:25 pm Here is what a doubled die would look like on a doubled talon: Your coin is just seeing coin contact. (Note all the toes would show the same exact hub doubling if it is the real thing) Report this Post to the Staff
