TedError Valued Member United States 242 Posts	Posted 11/01/2024 7:26 pm Please take a look at this 1998-P Washington quarter with unusual T's in "STATES" on reverse. I haven't seen this before. What do you think happened? Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 96209 Posts	Posted 11/01/2024 9:40 pm looks to be the product of a very worn out die. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget.

Greasy Fingers Pillar of the Community United States 7035 Posts	Posted 11/01/2024 10:35 pm I'm leaning towards clogged devices in the die. Wish we had a clearer photo of the reverse.... but I'm not seeing any die flow lines which comes along with a worn out die and it looks like nothing else is affected. Report this Post to the Staff
Marv65 Bedrock of the Community United States 10542 Posts	Posted 11/02/2024 01:42 am Good closeup pic. Doesn't look like Die Deterioration, looks more like something was filling the T's on the die like @Greasy Fingers has stated. Report this Post to the Staff
TedError Valued Member United States 242 Posts	Posted 11/02/2024 11:49 am I have posted some additional photos for you all to analyze. I'm with Greasy Fingers at this point, but glad to hear additional comments. I certainly don't think it is Die Deterioration. There looks to be MD on "DOLLAR", especially the two L's. Rest of rim lettering looks normal other than those T's in STATES as noted, Hopefully the additional photos help. Please provide additional comments. Thanks. Report this Post to the Staff
ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19158 Posts	Posted 11/02/2024 12:16 pm I'm thinking the result of Die Deterioration. Report this Post to the Staff
Marv65 Bedrock of the Community United States 10542 Posts	Posted 11/02/2024 1:40 pm The only problem with DD being the cause is there is no Die Deterioration - but there is filling in of the voids on the die that produced both of the letters T. (?) Maybe I'm seeing it wrong Edited by Marv65 11/02/2024 1:44 pm Report this Post to the Staff
