Die break change at Wawa

Namvet69Namvet69 Posts: 9,425 ✭✭✭✭✭

Grabbed a half gallon of milk at Wawa and as I stepped up to pay, the guy cracked open a roll of quarters. I asked for a dollar in quarters, all 4 were Delaware and all had die breaks. 3 have the break at the base of Georges shoulder, the other has the break coming out of the horses mouth. I'm glad I drink milk. Peace Roy

    Here's a story discussing what it appears you have there:

    That's the same one I have pictured. It's called the spitting horse.

    Isn't that the puking pony variety?

    A new roll of 1999 quarters being broken open in 2020? :o

    Nice score.

    A spitting horse is what it is. And you can buy one right now for prices ranging from a buck for and a half for a circulated one to $181.94 for an MS67 on-where else-ebay.

    It is always fun to find coins with anomalies in your change.... I look at all my coins (eventually). Cheers, RickO

    Those are cool.
    I found a Delaware "The first stat", some years ago. It's a pretty common variety.
    Everytime I see "Wawa", I think of Gilda Radners impersonation of Barbara Wawa.... :)

    @ricko on a similar note, today in my change, I found a 2020 W Salt River quarter with the privy mark. It's AU, pretty sure it's from the same Wawa from a week ago (a milk run). I toss my change on my p/u center console. This Wawa is serviced by an armored car service that apparently has an interesting supply of coins and notes. I'm about 45 miles north of Philadelphia but don't know if that's relevant. Peace Roy
