here are a couple images of a statehood quarter taken with the dslr/sigma lens. not often we get to see member images of such lowly coins in such a prestigious manner. lol (i only give the images an 8.5 out of 10 though)
Well that was unexpected just now...Loomis roll.
and yes, this IS how I spend many Friday nights
Coins are Neato!

I found this one in a roll of quarters. The front looks like it could be natural aging, but the back seems too good to be true. Anyone have an idea how it got this way?

We’ll need better pics if possible. My first guess would be improperly annealed planchet.

these are common in general. seen on many type coins. if you look for these on modern quarters, you'll have a barrel full.
Coinscratch, you said, "We’ll need better pics if possible". What type of pictures would be helpful? Here are a few from under the scope. What seems odd to me is the symmetry of the light under the bird. Would an "improperly annealed planchet" account for this?

You're going way over my paygrade asking questions like that. I only know what they look like from a distance, sometimes.
Also some rolls to mule over, nothing exciting I think you would need MS68 just to break even. But notice, only I will be able to open the Texas state quarters because it clearly says on the package strictly for Texas residents.
So I’m not sure yet but I might not show you guys any of those…
2 rolls, 2 fun finds.

get a blush brush (women use) to apply dry makeup to their face to wipe off the coins. i wouldn't do it to >pf70 coins but anything else will be fine. they are so soft and flexible. (for a women's face) almost reminds >you of the fist time you feel a catfish belly. wet and slimy it may be but rarely a creature can rival how soft >it is.
Money, women, catfishbelly—You summarized my life’s pursuit of sustenance and procreation.

I find some of the same stuff. Good reading.
i really do try and give thought to some of my ramblings so as not to antagonize, tempt, hipocracize (?), or otherwise trip up other members but since i do not know the exact, precise location of the line, it can be a bit challenging to not get my toes on it from time-to-time. i also do try very hard if i think someone is jousting with me to handle it fairly promptly and tactfully as usually 99% of those situations are fleeting and once we practice circumnavigating them or at the least ignoring them, things will find a way of working out.
i've been warned about being condescending but i do think part of that, along with a lot of our challenges, is that text on a screen is SOOO open to interpretation sometimes. also, i may be unintentionally condescending but the good thing is, a nice warning or heads-up, usually goes a long way with me depending on whom and how it is delivered. i tend to give the mods a WIDE berth. lol
add lots of emotis and quick explanations about how something is not intended to offend, insult, etc etc and i think that kinda stuff goes a LONG way to compensate for dry screen text. i truly think even shakespeare, browning, whiteman, blake etc would run afoul eventually if they were posting and posting a lot.
i do try to laugh at myself and others a bit when we do fun afoul, so if you would be so kind some time, point me in the direction of the post(s) i made that led you down such an erroneous path my friend.
and soon as i make this post, the next couple listings show the area of the doubling. right where the ray meets the arm.
Yes yes and yes...always watching for those and a few other subtle ones. There's another one that's on the cow's face when you're looking for the high/low leafs... just off the top of my head. Another where the railroad spike has doubling on the Utah...

My Chase got a shipment of quarters yesterday.
Grabbed one of the fresh boxes but I don't think the Bessies are showing up here (5 miles from the Denver Mint lol) yet...it always takes a few weeks, ALWAYS lol!

Well said my friend i’m not nearest patient or well spoken so I’ll just copy and paste your statement to my Sigg line. Well that is if you don’t mind lol!
There’s a Led Zeppelin song that explains it probably fewer words however, remember the words have two meanings. I like to think I keep the mods on their game wink wink.

Thank you Ricko! It was I believe one of my very first questions on here almost five years ago. Now, that I can image well enough it will go a long way in the decision making about having coins graded.
My bank had a pile of state quarter BU rolls that someone turned in. I searched the Arizona (8 rolls) and found the following:
26 with minor die chips like these:
7 with die cracks like these:
42 with die chips called extra leaf:
And this one DDR?? Or?
The minor die chip coins, i may just put back in circulation. The extra leaf coins I will probably eBay.
All BU from original bank wrapped rolls. I don't know if I just got lucky or if the extra leaf coins are more common then everyone thinks.
These two are on the fence. The first one I found in an album and the second came from an original bank roll.
And I'll post a third which is graded 67+. The question is should they (first 2) stay on the fence or hop on the first flight to California?
Nothing of note in that box of quarters from above, searched the whole thing last night...
But Chase was more than happy to give me another box today, from the fresh shipment
I'm not seeing any idication of Bessies yet...but no complaints about a box a day lol!
But first I'm searching a couple dozen "fresh" Loomis rolls of Mayas I stashed away. Half are D and half are P sent from a friend in NYC
The Chase box I brought home today...
Coins are Neato!

Looks like a misaligned die (MAD).

There are a lot of settings to chose from based on what program you're saving the png file with...color profiles like RGB and RGBA, transparency (alpha channels), custom palettes... they all won't display in standard browsers. You may have chosen a different png profile or save setting by accident.

I found these today, in a flat fed roll
Ordered 2 boxes of halves last week and they came in. But nada. Nothin to show for it.

nice!
i think perhaps the mints today should take notes from some of the 80s coinage as those die had some problems for a long time w/o failing!!
the 83p is crazy. (i've noticed a lot of 70s/80s that are like this and worse)
They usually don’t come this nice and especially at this price.
This 81P might be good as well but I just lost my computer for a while…
ya, those are great pick-ups!
i'd hope to run into a big ol handful at that price.
a good reason to lose the pc and i'm glad you shared.
if i know kids and i like to think i do, they LOVE being in their parent workspace, especially a son in his father's!
i did enjoy being in my dad's workspace, even if i didn't know the half of what was going on. lol
Here ya go. Sorry!

Some not too recent finds. Doubelds are tricky because there date is often squished
@Coinscratch .... Nice bunch of old cents.... I get about one a month/six weeks in change. Cheers, RickO

We’ll need better pics if possible. My first guess would be improperly annealed planchet.
Second guess would be parking lot find.

well i checked a roll of 59p 1c i have in unc rd for any ddo/ddr and i am happy to report, i got roasted, toasted and burnt to a crisp! LOL
You're going way over my paygrade asking questions like that. I only know what they look like from a distance, sometimes.
Nice luster but that's all.
EDIT
ya, too bad about the smuchtz, it does kinda look like a zinger!
Okay check these out. The 87 P PL Kennedy, the reverse is much better but not enough to catch PL, just yet.
A repeat of this monster PL - just because
Then a mellow lavender to help you relax and lose your inner Ricko
Cell pics are more true to life for PLs simply because it’s basically a mirror and tough to photograph.
Also some rolls to mule over, nothing exciting I think you would need MS68 just to break even. But notice, only I will be able to open the Texas state quarters because it clearly says on the package strictly for Texas residents.
So I’m not sure yet but I might not show you guys any of those…
