Strike through error on 1952 Superbirds?
 of 4-17-04 004.jpg)
I was going through my flock of Superbirds and found 3 that have it. Any thoughts?

I used to be somebody, now I'm just a coin collector.

The 65 cameo shows no gouge.
The 67 cameo shows the gouge - similar to the right photo in the OP.

<< <i>Thats interesting, I have my 3 best birds at our host and 3 in the vault. But the three sitting here with me None have that mark. In your second picture it looks like it is a raised line, is it? There are many reverse dies talked about for this year but have not heard anything about a different Obverse die. Nice catch and will look at my other ones when they come back..............Enjoy
Mine clearly looks like a raised line, similar to the S on the reverse. So I'd say its a gouge, unless there is a more appropriate term for it.
With respect to dies, I my Mint die records only go back to 1954. During 1954 quarter production, the obverse and reverse proof dies only made about 5,000 pieces each before being retired. (vs 450k per obverse die and 350k per reverse die for business strikes). If the 1952 die life was similar to 1954, then a total of about 16 obverse and 16 reverse dies were used to make the 82,000 proofs that year.
