Indiana quarter rolls with die cracks........

RNCHSN

I got 10 rolls of In. quarters from the bank today to put away. When I got home, I noticed that 3 of the rolls have end coins with a die crack. (Yes, the same one!) What are the chances that the whole roll has die cracks? Should I crack them open and look, or just put them away as I had originally planned? Do you think it would show some progression if they are all cracked? Is it even worth spending the time with? Errors are NOT my thing, I just noticed and thought it was interesting.

Any thoughts and opinions are appreciated. Thanks very much.

I'd be checking them to see if you got any 'cuds' where the die breaks off and leaves a blob of metal where the coin design should be, probably not real valuable but a cool find for an error collector just the same.

Ron,
I found some Indiana "P" mints with what look like die cracks starting at the lower left tip of Washington's neck(bust) and passing through the "Q" in quarter to the rim. I kept three of them out of a roll. Do these sound anything like yours?

Thanks

Hey Gary,

Did you get those out of the rolls on my desk? That's exactly what I have.

Ron,
I was going through three rolls and these came from one of the rolls. I am getting some more today from another bank, so will be looking and let you know what I see. It is hard to tell how many of these were made...could be millions?
