Texas Quarter Die cracks..

Rev1775

I picked up 2 rolls of the Texas Quarters from the bank and as I was going through them I had 5-6 of these in the same roll.. I'm sure they are not really worth anything.. but an interestering variety none the less..

The crack extends from the tip of the bust down thru the Q and to the rim.. Am I seeing this and correctly identifying it as a die crack?

Looks like I am finding them on both sides of about a dozen in this roll...

Thanks..

Yes. Those are caused by breaks in the die.

The output of individual die pairs tend to stay together and end up in the same place or roll.
It's not unusual to find multiple examples of even rare coins in the same roll. The rarest var-
ieties tend to be released in small geographical areas due to this process.

There are not a lot of collectors who are willing to pay much for coins like this, but it might be
a good idea to save at least the nicest one or two of them. You can even start a set yourself
if you find them interesting. Many are available for no premium to the normal coin.

~~ cool,
Thanks for the info.. I didn't expect they would bring any premium...
was just nice to find that many in a single roll... Monday I will get some
more rolls and cherry pick a few...

Not a whole lot of premium, maybe, but definitely worth more than a quarter!

Nice find!

pretty nice die crackage. that area where the crack is isnt exclusive to texas quarters.
its somewhat common on many shqs. i have a close example of that obverse crack on a georgia p

value depends on demand, and the more pronounced the `error`the more likely the demand/value.
you can see some die cracks with a loupe and not the naked eye. still cool but probably zero premium
on those.

nice cracks on both sides like yours is a big plus too. nice find
