lvtwentytwo Valued Member United States 94 Posts	Posted 05/03/2025 3:19 pm Ok, I'm back with some more questions. Picked up a roll of customer rolled 1999-P Pennsylvania quarters from the bank. The teller told me they came from a collector. Of the 40 quarters, 22 seem to have a partial die crack on the Obverse side below George, 1 has a rather long die crack (same place), and the other 17 I really haven't found anything glaringly wrong. Am I correct in assuming these have die cracks? Pics 1-2: Showing condition of the coins, BU I'd suspect; Pic 3: Obverse side below George without any die crack; Pic 4: Partial die crack on 22 coins; Pics 5-6: Longer die crack on 1 coin; Report this Post to the Staff

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74060 Posts	Posted 05/03/2025 3:31 pm You're correct. They're Die Cracks. The bust of George Washington seems to be a weak point on the die. It's a common location for Die Cracks. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff

lvtwentytwo Valued Member United States 94 Posts	Posted 05/03/2025 3:36 pm Weird that a collector would just turn these into the bank? They must be worth more than $0.25? I'll have to go back and look at the other 17 more closely. Report this Post to the Staff
ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19150 Posts	Posted 05/03/2025 3:44 pm Yes, die cracks--not terribly uncommon with quarters in that location. A crazed die crack collector might pay upwards of a dollar for a similar die crack. Report this Post to the Staff

lvtwentytwo Valued Member United States 94 Posts	Posted 05/03/2025 6:06 pm Hum....well it sounds like I need to keep looking. At least the "W's" I've found are worth a little more than that. Maybe time to give up looking for die cracks and look for something else? Report this Post to the Staff
Tunnioc Pillar of the Community United States 3174 Posts	Posted 05/03/2025 6:52 pm Yes , look for DDO's and DDR's instead. https://varietyvista.com/ https://doubleddie.com/228401.html Report this Post to the Staff
lvtwentytwo Valued Member United States 94 Posts	Posted 05/03/2025 10:21 pm Tunnioc, From the link you sent me, it appears almost all DD error examples on State Quarters are below the ear lobe. Hardly any other DD examples on these quarters. There must be more? Are the DD under the ear lobe worth hunting for? Report this Post to the Staff
