Just wondering if I could get some thoughts on the quarter. The "O" in HOMESTEAD has a tail making it look like a "Q". The tail is actually a big blob, next to a little blob. The "O" has a curve, like a clipped planchet, where the tail is. I included a picture, not rotated, to better show the curve. Pictures aren't all that great, and I apologize I can't get better ones. Please just humor me and take a look #128516; I'm sure it came from the Mint like this, a die dent maybe?

Looks like a die chip/ dent perhaps and/or a ding
on the coin from circulation.

Pictures look just fine to me, but I'm in agreement that this is damage rather than a mint error.

Is that "little tail" from the incuse "O" raised or incuse also?

EDIT: I see you call it a BLOB but just making sure.
IF it is raised then it will be a die chip or die dent/scratch. If incuse then just a dent on the coin itself.

Working with the OP's posted pictures I see what appears to be the Gouge running " Through " the Letter O itself.

Almost a Struck-Through Like struck coin...
If it is a " ding ", Would the Apparent direction of the " ding ", Heading North-West, leave a Foot print, in the Incused Area, I can barely see it, and It can be Barely seen Reconnecting Above the Incused Mark, rejoining the Details of the coins Reverse... ( in the Blown up Picture ).

I would have Loved, to of seen This coin after it Was Struck!!!


Just my opinion, Thanks for Posting Here.... MD. PS, Could you post a Picture of What Ever is going on in the word Homestead, The Last letter D . :)

That is probably why the "O" is flattened right there too - metal movement (from the probable ding)
