Seeker_101 Pillar of the Community United States 1366 Posts	Posted 03/27/2025 11:22 pm I came across this from a mint bag. The first one I saw I wrote off as a hit but then I came across another one. Three out of fourteen coins so far have this anomaly on the eye lid. I'm kind of leaning toward a small chip or die dent. Thoughts on this one? The eye closeups were taken at 90 degree intervals (0, 90, 180, 270) for perspective. Report this Post to the Staff

Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 4369 Posts	Posted 03/28/2025 09:23 am Do the die markers match up? It could be a hub double like the Eleanor Roosevelt quarters. https://doubleddie.com/3297993.html Of course, this close to release, the quarters could very well have been struck from the same die, and it might be a new DDO.

Seeker_101 Pillar of the Community United States 1366 Posts	Posted 03/28/2025 9:42 pm So I have gone thru about $10 of these quarters and looked more closely at the ones I had looked at. The vast majority of them had similar issue with the eye - one group more defined like this one and another group much less perceptible. This leads me to believe Brand may be right and it might be hub doubling. I do have a third group that involves the date which I will post later. Report this Post to the Staff
