Anyone think these are big enough to have value? I have boxes of these quarters and thinking about going through more. Report this Post to the Staff

Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6452 Posts	Posted 04/09/2025 6:16 pm All that wording around the rim is sunken (incuse). I believe those lines are probably just scratches and scrapes across the surface of the coin, which skip over the sunken lettering. Edit: Didn't see the post by E&V. I agree with the diagnosis, obviously. =) Edited by Brandmeister 04/09/2025 6:18 pm Report this Post to the Staff

xSparexStewx New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 04/09/2025 7:55 pm I have tilted these under my microscope and they definitely are raised. I compared it to actual scratches and the shadows are different they go the same way as the lettering. Other reason I think these could be errors is because they are from circulation not mint rolls. The strikes on the mint rolls are always better, but the coins with these marks are some of the worst I have seen, a lot of details are just missing. Only thing that made me question them is I would assume a die crack would be consistently in the same spot vs these are all over the place. Maybe some larger metal shavings were on the plachet as it was being struck? Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 94728 Posts	Posted 04/09/2025 9:44 pm These are scratches over top of the incuse lettering. the part you feel that is raised is the displaced metal that was formally where the grove is now.
