Does this look like a spitting horse quarter? Or damage? Thanks

JBK

Neither. I don't see a picture.

Kkathyl

I can’t see the image

I added it further down in string.

Your pic is good but I just can't tell on my screen if the line is raised or scratched into the surface, How does it look in person?

If you Google the error (die variety actually) there might be a picture to compare to.

Kkathyl

Here is an image to compare if you cannot get you picture attached.

Some have a crack in the backside too but look for the line to be raised and going underneath the letters Caesey Rodney to the left of the crack/ line

The coin in the OP appears to be a scratch....I enlarged it and it is different from @Kkathyl's image.... Cheers, RickO

I can't really tell if it is raised either. If it is, it is very minimally raised. I compared it to the picture posted by Kathy and it doesn't match exactly.

I compared the two, and they are a little different. It is either a weird coincidence, or someone played with it and tried to make it look like the error coin. They do look very similar, except the crack goes through the "r" in different places.

It was a common spot for this design to crack. If I remember correctly there is a D mint spitting horse also. Yours looks like a spitting horse. A fun coin to hold on to but only a slight premium for MS examples and little if none for AU and below.

Kkathyl

It looks like it to me as well. The coin can have rotating positions and P vs D maybe different. I think it might be and if the surface quality is good you might want to send to host.
Look to see if the color is same as surface not darker and check if it is raised. That is the test as I remember for looking at these types of errors. Maybe @Insider2 can chime in.

IMO, more fun, the scratch behind the rider’s back looks like he’s loosing his sword... pareidolia.
