Benito

Is this an error . Looks like an island ideas please . Look at reverse photos

It is supposed to depict Galveston Island. It is not an error.

Benito

This is the only one that has the island

In checking other photos of the Texas coin I find that you are right, they don't show the "island".

You may want to contact the people who publish the Cherrypicker books. It may prove to worth promoting as it could be called the Galveston Island variety.

Hawaii has a few, I think! As does Guam (does that count?) lol.

Presumably a die chip, then.

@Benito

The placement of the die chip (possible) is pretty cool. It does look like an island. Keeper.

Below is from CoinFacts for comparison

That's actually close to the real Galveston Is -- oh the irony! Nice find!

You need to find another identical coin. A die chip would not be considered a variety. Yes an error, but a minor one.

Benito

Won’t be easy to find

If it were easy then there would be minimal value to the endeavor.

Benito

I am new at searching how to look for other ones besides coin searching tanks

ricko

It appears to be a die chip..... a very coincidental placement though. I would keep that one - and search for others. Get some rolls of Texas quarters... Cheers, RickO

Though die chips are relatively common, and not worth much at all, the size and placement of this one could make it a 'desirable' one to quite a few as the 'Galveston Island' variety. I'd consider it a keeper and would try to find another to validate it. Looks like a nice find to me.

JBK

As a stand alone "error" it is neat but not very valuable, I assume. BUT...if you can hype it as the "Galveston Island variety:" it might catch on and they would be worth a premium.

Benito

The any one has one like that

Acetone soak and poke it with a stick then let us know if anything happened or not.

"To validate it" ?? A die chip is a die chip, if it is a die chip. Finding another would be nice and beneficial to try to garner interst but isn't needed for validation of whether its a die chip.

Could it be a gas bubble? Or maybe Gilligan's island?

astrorat

I think it's neat and would love to have one to show at our next coin club meeting. Then again, I'm in Texas, and we go nuts over stuff like this! LOL

Edited to add ... @Benito ... any chance you could post a nice, high resolution image of the full reverse?

Benito

I only have a I phone for the photos see moré I will send to validate after the holidays photos don’t do justice looks like belongs as part of design

erwindoc

Now Im going to have to pull out my albums and folders to look at the quarter

erwindoc

Benito

Good luck on the hunt.

Benito

Still looking for second one 2004 Texas with Galveston island

BillDugan1959

Twenty-five centavos in current money of the USA. No premium whatsoever.

thisistheshow

Very cool error- would be a cool variety as discussed above. Either way I love it.
Thanks for sharing!

Benito

Namvet69

Benito

I know the last time this was commented on was February of 2019, but I just want to inform that I have one that looks exactly like the one seen in the picture! Same placement, same size, and same mint mark!
