1976 Quarter Dollar Die Clash ?

It looks like a clash. Here a Photoshop clash overlay image that shows about where clash marks should be on the coin. The clash through the drummer's wrist was caused by the bridge of Washington's nose.

Very glad to hear this. As you suspect and @yoko confirmed, this coin was struck with a clashed die.

Ahhh....thank you John1, you are correct. I even did the self chant "right hand facing is left hand for me" and still got it mixed up....

Thank you Yokozuna for that confirmation.

I can't believe that I didn't comment on your coin, elliottite!

The coin is in fantastic condition! Lot's of luster and very few circulation marks. This is a coin I would love to have in my collection! I have to wonder why it was in circulation.

I know things like this happen all the time, but I always think about this when I see a amazing coin in my change.

I wonder if someone who collected coins for years had this in their collection, maybe because it was a clashed die strike, in this case. All collection have to be passed down to someone as time goes on, but it just makes me a little sad to think that maybe an uninformed or uncaring recipient didn't see a reason to keep it.

*sigh*

So, should I change my username to "CaptianBringdown" or something like that?

Thank you, Yokozuna
I work part time at convenience store as a cashier. I see alot of coins. I am very surprised at some of the coins that end up circulating that never meant to. Just the other day guy comes in and pays for a pack of smokes with some ultra cameo JFK half dollars. Gorgeous coins. I immediately bought them from my till and put them in holders. The coin in this post came to me the same way. Its awesome to find a error on a coin, but to find a error on a really nice coin, is even a more awesome feeling.

Does anybody think this coin would ve worth slabbing?

That is a beautiful coin. Very nice find.
