Mister Ed Posted June 11, 2007 Report Share Posted June 11, 2007 I've been searching the $200 or so of state quarters and found this one...what caused this? I'm learning the erros is this a "grease strike"? I'll be posting a pic of the NH quarter without a mint mark now that I have figured out how to scan coins!!

bill Posted June 13, 2007 Report Share Posted June 13, 2007 It looks like a chipped die to me, much like the old BIE errors of the 1950s Lincoln cents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LostDutchman Posted June 14, 2007 Report Share Posted June 14, 2007 that is a chipped die or a small die break.... some times as the dies wear from striking so many coins they will chip or start to crack....this allows the planchet metal to flow into that area leaving a little raised area like this one shown.
