indian4 New Member United States 36 Posts	Posted 02/13/2024 11:53 am I believe this is the Comet quarer but I have been wrong frequently. Confirmation is appreciated. The lighting on these is not the best but I am learning more. All photos taken with cell phone or Nikon D90. Edited by indian4 02/13/2024 11:57 am Report this Post to the Staff

indian4 New Member United States 36 Posts	Posted 02/13/2024 12:00 pm The Sally Ride Quarter has an image that is a result of a clash with Georges profile on obverse. I am making sure others see it as I do. Anyone who wants to jump in here, please do. The clash causes a hazy image of wht is known as the comet. It is over her right shoulder and continues across the quarter. Report this Post to the Staff

indian4 New Member United States 36 Posts	Posted 02/13/2024 12:19 pm Hopefully someone will jump in here with a better explanation but Georges head (the back of his head would cause the clash. I am a novice wth quarters but I have a lot of clashed Morgans. Report this Post to the Staff
Tacc Pillar of the Community United States 3535 Posts	Posted 02/13/2024 1:06 pm Really need clear closeup photos to see what you are seeing. I do see the Hazy Area but..... "Comet Quarter" sounds like so many other ebay terms for something like this. Not really a mint error of any kind.. Report this Post to the Staff

indian4 New Member United States 36 Posts	Posted 02/13/2024 5:08 pm Proper terminology is ghost comet I think. ButI'm pretty sure I have it wrong. I'll keep checking. Report this Post to the Staff

HondoB Bedrock of the Community United States 25156 Posts	Posted 02/13/2024 10:06 pm This has been discussed on CCF before - see link below with overlays. OP's quarter does look like what others are calling the "Ghost Comet". A quick internet search shows quite a few for sale, from $8 to $900, although ebay completed listings are mostly in the 50 cents - $1.50 range (one at $1500?). They're usually described as a "major error", although no one bothers to tell exactly what the error is. http://goccf.com/t/440280 Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Edited by HondoB 02/13/2024 10:07 pm Report this Post to the Staff
