elliottite Valued Member United States 261 Posts	Posted 08/21/2022 05:17 am Hello, I have had this quarter for a while because it is in such great condition. Well, taking a gander at it, it seems there is possibly a die clash on the obverse. Right under where Washington's ear would be. Also noticed some die cracking on the Washington's forehead and face. As well as the lips. Also seems to be some sort of doubling on IN GOD WE TRUST. Just wondering if anyone has seen these errors on this coin and if my diagnosis is correct. Thank you very much for you shared knowledge. It is very much appreciated. Report this Post to the Staff

The "doubling" on IGWT is just worthless Machine Doubling, unfortunately, identifiable by the flat, shelf-like appearance of the doubled regions and the fact that the devices are reduced rather than enlarged in the doubled areas. An interesting piece for learning about a bunch of different types of die events and forms of doubling, but not one with any value beyond educational. Report this Post to the Staff
Yokozuna Pillar of the Community United States 4618 Posts	Posted 08/21/2022 2:34 pm I don't see any clash marks other than the one just under Washington's ear. You may see others with the coin in hand. Here's a Photoshop overlay to help locate potential clash marks.

Dearborn Moderator United States 96071 Posts	Posted 08/21/2022 3:01 pm pretty nice catch on the small clash. I think that is a die crack on Washington's forehead by 'STATES'. Collecting since 1972.
