I broke a roll of poppys, and have found that for the first 20 quarters, 19 have what looks like a worn die mark on the right side of the I in Elizabeth. It is quite predominate on some quarters, but the 19 have definite extra material on the sides of the i. Are there more out there like this? This is still the case with the two 10 packs that I received from the mint this morning. Interesting, would be to see how many are out there with this problem.

The photo is too dark for me to see those details at the I but it is nice and big

I recently learned that I can adjust my scan resolution AND scanners brightness and contrast when scanning and I play around with scanning at various settings and different angles until I get the best scan to see better details. Its futsy fiddling for me but am finally learning how to use a scanner. New fandangled contraptions, eh?

like the one-dot two dot, I did not have very much success, so I will have to try different angles and see if I can come up with a better pic.

You could be onto something now. When there are types OF types of varieties.... Like 1953 or 1965... I think yours might be just extra metal.

I DO see extra highlighting right side of the "I" unlike all the other letters and assume that highlighting is the same shape of what you're describing :)

Right on dottir, I have just about completed the roll, and there are quite a few with the small amount on the right side of the I in Elizabeth. :) It would be interesting to see how many do show up with the extra amount on the right side of the i.
