Spence Moderator United States 34401 Posts	Posted 08/10/2022 03:29 am @pris, normally "squiggly" lines on the surface of a coin are indicative of a coin having been struck by a tired die; however, with the high level of circulation damage on this quarter, I think it is probably just wear and tear.

Dave42 Pillar of the Community United States 571 Posts	Posted 08/10/2022 09:39 am Maybe (just maybe) remnants of a die clash? I see something odd on the obverse above the bridge of his nose, and also the back of the head above the curl. I found this overlay (thanks Yokozuna!) and it looks possible.

jacrispies Pillar of the Community United States 3848 Posts	Posted 08/10/2022 11:18 am It does look like a clash, but I am not entirely convinced. If so, those would be the heaviest clash marks I've ever seen on a modern coin! Suffering from bust half fever. Want to learn how to attribute early half dollars by die variety?

prisbrey1 Pillar of the Community United States 936 Posts	Posted 08/10/2022 2:13 pm look at the left wing I thought maybe it was a die crack but looking at the picture that dave42 shared it looks similar do you think its worth sending it somewhere to find out what it really is Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 95630 Posts	Posted 08/10/2022 6:05 pm Looks like a clash and then an attempt to polish it off. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget.
