Looks like a minor Die Chip. Is it raised above the surface?

Looks like there might also be a chip or crack from the U in United, along the edge of the cape.

a Die crack, it would seem to be a common area to happen on this design.

Unfortunately it won't be worth any more than it is now to your grandchildren. It's a very common die chip.

Anything you believe to be interesting or (eventually) valuable enough to leave your grandchildren, you shouldn't leave in a box. The difference between great value and face value can sometimes be a single nick or hairline scratch, so why encourage such damage by leaving in a box? |

When I was a kid, my grandfather gave me a Buffalo nickel with a huge chunk missing. It just looked cool. Still one of my favorite coins in my collection. Positives: 1. He's got a quarter with a clear die chip. 2. He found it CRH himself. 3. A birds nest WCtD quarter is a popular coin with a fun name. Any kid just starting out in coin collecting would be happy to have it. Like my own pop-pop, you don't start a 10 year old out with something worth real bucks.   Edited by Brandmeister
