Die cracks and chip on Nebraska "P" Quarter -- "chin wart" die chip

keez

I started looking through the Mint roll of the Nebraska P Quarters and noticed the same markings in several areas.
There is a die crack at the base of the bust on several of them.
Also a chin wart on 2 of them so far.
Also a die crack on a few in the eyebrow area and nose area.

Posting scans of the chin wart and neck area. Need more 2x2 holders so only went through 10 qtrs so far.

Also, would the "chin wart" be considered a cud?

Hey! I've got a couple of Nebraska Quarters with that same die crack, but in a later state. I put one of them up for sale on ebay... let me see if I can get the link working...

OK, not sure how to post a link ... It's acution No. 8423643308

I've got a pretty good close-up photo of that same die crack in a more advanced state.

The quarters I have with the die crack all came out of the same roll. On one of them, the crack has extended will across the base of the bust, and actually spread out to leave an elongated blob of metal.

I looked at your auction pic PonyPuller and it is the same die crack. Out of the first 10 quarters in the P roll, 9 of them have the crack ranging from the beginning of the cracking of the die to it spreading along the bottom of the bust. The two I posted here also have the blob on the chin and a die crack in the eyebrow region. I haven't finished the roll yet as I ran out of holders. Thanks for posting yours. Has anyone else found this?

Here's a photo of another quarter I have from the same roll as the acution one.

In this one, you can see the crack extending across the bust, and opening up near the bust middle... not sure if this would qualify as a retained cud or not?

Bumping this up for the weekend clad crowd. Newbie questions.

Question 1: Is the "chin wart" considered a cud?
Question 2: Is it considered a variety or error?

keez

bumping up again -- need to know what to write on the 2x2 holder.

the die-crack from the lower bust point is actually quite common on many statehood quarters.
i guess the more visible and dramatic, the more collector value but it is a common deal.
the die-chip or `chin wart`is pretty cool but not all die-chips are sought-after errors unless
it has a.....widely accepted feature of `coolness`....? like the speared buffalo nickle...or extra leaf deal.
maybe your chin wart quarter will catch on and be in that cool error catagory.

keez

So it's a die chip that did that, that's good to know, thanks. I have 2 like that so far, haven't finished the roll yet. I'll write "die chip on chin" on the holder so I don't lose track of it. Sounds better than "chin wart" LOL. Thanks again for answering my questions.

My take is that is a common, unimpressive variety. Good for you for finding it. Keep up the search!! Don't expect a premium as there are several varieties currently unrecognized by PCGS that deserve recognition. Thanks for posting!!
