Does this add to the quarter?

    What is the “this” that you’re asking about? Your coin looks heavily abraded and that doesn’t “add” anything good.
    If you’re sincerely looking for help, it would be better not to make people guess what you’re talking about.

    What are you wanting to add to it? Right now, I only see a beat up quarter.

  • GreenstangGreenstang Posts: 1,214 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Not sure what “this” is, I don’t see anything that can’t be attributed to damage.

  • Matt97932Matt97932 Posts: 245 ✭✭✭

    I don't know what it is either? That's what I'm asking. Is it damage or die clash, valuable or worthless?

    I can see the die clash; does the clash add value. If not which die clashes are valuable? That's my question.

    I don’t see any die clashing, only post-production flaws. Read up on die-clashing - it should be easy to distinguish from contact marks and damage. Even if the coin did exhibit die-clashing, that wouldn’t necessarily make it more valuable.

    Mark the "this" area where you believe something is going on with the coin on a photo so that your question can be better answered.

    @Matt97932... If you are referring to the vertical broken line behind Washington's head, I do not think it is a die clash.... looks like PMD. Cheers, RickO

  • Matt97932Matt97932 Posts: 245 ✭✭✭

    This is the best picture's I can get of it.

  • yosclimberyosclimber Posts: 4,835 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Please describe the location of the die clash in detail.

  • Matt97932Matt97932 Posts: 245 ✭✭✭

    I tried to take close up pictures, maybe this will help. This is all of the obverse.

  • Matt97932Matt97932 Posts: 245 ✭✭✭

    And that's not pareidoia.

  • jonathanbjonathanb Posts: 3,658 ✭✭✭✭✭

    @Matt97932 maybe there is a mixup in terminology. What do you think a die clash is? How do you think it is caused? What are the characteristics of a die clash, and where do you see those characteristics on this coin?

  • Matt97932Matt97932 Posts: 245 ✭✭✭

    Die clash is were the 2 die's make contact without a Planchet in between them. Thus leaving the reverse image onto the obverse or vice versa.

  • Matt97932Matt97932 Posts: 245 ✭✭✭

    Behind Washington's head and in his head the man in the mountain. You don't see that in those pictures? Now I have now idea what's happening in the words on this coin that's one of the reasons I posted it. Because I looked everywhere I know to look and have not found anything like this.

    What do you think it is?

    You have a scratched coin; spend it.

  • TomBTomB Posts: 21,507 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Yes, this quarter adds twenty-five cents to your spending change.

    That description is pretty good but incomplete. When two dies make contact, they make contact at the highest points of the dies. The highest points of the dies are the lowest points of the coins struck from those dies -- the fields.

    Behind Washington's head and in his head

    If you see marks that are NOT in the fields (such as in Washington's head, here), then they are NOT caused by clashed dies.

    I looked everywhere I know to look and have not found anything like this

    So you agree that you have not found any clashed die strikes that look anything like this? That's a pretty good argument that this isn't a clashed die strike either.

    What caused this to look like it does?

    At least 5 people so far have said this coin shows normal circulation damage. I'm sorry you don't like that but asking the same question again isn't going to get you a different answer.
