50 Cents New Member United States 16 Posts	Posted 12/28/2022 12:54 am I found a spitting horse die crack Delaware State Quarter. However, it's on a Denver minted quarter. I can't find any other examples, just the more common Philadelphia errors. The die crack is in the same position as the Philadelphia examples. Has anyone saw a 1999D spitting horse?

Dearborn Moderator United States 94892 Posts	Posted 12/28/2022 2:37 pm Well, if raised, then it could be a slight die crack, but being so straight - it could also be a small gouge or scratch on the die.

datadragon Pillar of the Community United States 1648 Posts	Posted 12/28/2022 7:41 pm This error was mentioned to be found on only 1999-P Delaware quarters, which were struck at the Philadelphia Mint. Nobody is quite sure how many were made but based on the number of collectors who've found these error quarters there are probably several thousand specimens of this Delaware quarter error floating around. The Spitting Horse Delaware quarter error was caused by a die crack running from the mouth of the horse that Caesar Rodney is riding all the way down through the "C" in "Caesar". However on Coneca I had read someones post that mentioned Denver example(s) similar to the Philadelphia "i also find it interesting that the same die crack has occurred in both the Philadelphia minted coins as well as the Denver minted coins." although there were no posted photos. So perhaps its not a unique find? but a very cool one and clearly may be more rare to find since I dont find mention of Denver at all in most articles on it. Another photo with the 'D' would be good to document it. https://board.conecaonline.org/foru...se-variation Edited by datadragon 12/28/2022 7:47 pm Report this Post to the Staff

stoneman227 Pillar of the Community United States 2376 Posts	Posted 12/29/2022 12:19 pm I you do a spitting horse search , here on the forum, you will find that there are a number of different dies that developed this spitting horse crack in slightly different directions. This seems to be a weak area of the design so it only makes sense that a Denver die of this design would develop a crack in this area. Report this Post to the Staff

Thanks stoneman227, yes the link I posted above mentions that as well - "I have several die cracks that seem to show a progression of the die crack." and "I now have 16 Delaware die crack "Spitting Horse" and each one is different." but I did not find any photos of a Denver one easily, only the mention which suggests that they are out there just not common like the philadelphia so any additional photos/finds of a denver might be helpful for future info and searchers.

silviosi Pillar of the Community Canada 6244 Posts	Posted 12/31/2022 4:45 pm Just a Die event due to aging anvil. It is No error and also No variety. Report this Post to the Staff
Petespockets55 Pillar of the Community United States 5770 Posts	Posted 01/01/2023 10:07 am I'm not really into quarters but love varieties and die events of all denominations. Congrats on the find. Quote: ... also No variety. Mon ami, lots of folks would consider this a variety since it is on all coins produced from the dies. It may not be valuable, but it is collectible as a variety to lots of folks. Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups. We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow.
