Since the minnesota Die Error I went back Thur some of my older coins that I found in my pocket change or rolls I have look Thur. and here are some of my finds Image Insert: Image Insert: Image Insert: Image Insert: Image Insert: Image Insert: the liberty did not show up until I was taking picture for my catalog of State Quarters. But the Delaware is a die crack that at one time I thought was a dropped letter,but as you can see its has a crack in the die by the under the tail of horse plus not in picture a crack in horses mouth  There a lot of more State Quarter error or die crack out there so check your change you my have a winner! Image Insert: This is a better picture I hope There a crack at the under tail that's what caused the mark hindquarter and not pictured there's a crack at the horses mouth  Edited by amac44

What you see on the horse's thigh is coin damage - nothing more. What you see behind the horse is a die scratch, nothing more. I don't see any Mechanical Doubling on either coin so I cannot comment other than to say they look like images of a normal coin. If you're talking about the dent on the T of LIBERTY, that's a hit on the coin. If you are talking about the small scratches around the letters, those are just that - simple, small scratches on the coin. My suggestion is to back off the coins a little when you are searching and try looking for something much more obvious to save and call an error. |

I apologize if you think I was rude. I was trying to help and do not believe in stating anything other than my educated opinion as to what I see. If it's nothing I am going to say so.
Regarding my last comment, from appearances you are over searching your coins looking at every nick and scratch as an error. That's fine if that's what you want to do to pass time, but these are not marketable errors. Often times if we back up and look at the big picture we can make it through far more coins and give ourselves a far greater chance of finding something that is a marketable error. That's all I was suggesting. I did the same thing at one time and learned the hard way that nobody cared about the really minor stuff. When I backed up and went through the coins faster looking for more obvious anomalies I found more, had more fun, and actually found some examples with value and interest.
Die cracks are likely not to have any marketable interest unless visible to the naked eye. Just keep that in mind when searching. And again, my statements were not intended to offend you.
