Coins4ourkids New Member United States 47 Posts	Posted 01/31/2025 4:16 pm Hi All, I've been going through some coins and stumbled across what appears to be a die issue in this Denver coin set. There appears to be an issue on the wing of the quarter possibly a die crack? As I've mentioned I'm new to this and learning a lot from the community!! Has anyone ever seen something like this in a set like this? Could it be worth anything? I am still struggling to recognize double dies, I think I have a bunch lol, but know I do not. I keep seeing what looks like a letter stamped twice and slightly off set but have been told these are not double dies. It is hard to tell in pics but I see it in the top of letter E in states (and other places). Can someone please explain why sometimes you see a shadow like it's a doubled letter but it isn't? Thanks for all your thoughts on this!! Report this Post to the Staff

Coins4ourkids New Member United States 47 Posts	Posted 01/31/2025 4:56 pm It is raised. I apologize about the pictures, with the plastic cover over them I can't get the light right or a good angle (I've been trying for hours!!). You can see it with naked eye and appears to be a piece of folded metal on top of wing or extra metal in that location. I think a lot of the scratches you see are on the plastic as the coins look very clean Report this Post to the Staff

Coins4ourkids New Member United States 47 Posts	Posted 01/31/2025 5:00 pm I can feel it with my finger raised from the surface. Report this Post to the Staff
Coins4ourkids New Member United States 47 Posts	Posted 01/31/2025 5:02 pm I was thinking a die chip. Is that odd (or add value) having one in an uncirculated set like this? Report this Post to the Staff
Tacc Pillar of the Community United States 3535 Posts	Posted 01/31/2025 5:25 pm Die chips and other die errors/varieties are not unusual to find on sealed US Uncirculated Mint Set coins. Added value? not really if any. Edited by Tacc 01/31/2025 5:26 pm Report this Post to the Staff
