I recently went through $125 of John Quincy Adams Dollars. I found around 25 of them with the same crack going from the top of the head through the N in Quincy and to the rim.

Sorry, The picture is not great.

I was wondering if anyone has seen this before and if they may have any additional value.

Thanks in advance.

    $5-10 each raw I would guess.

    That's a cool find, Mercury.

    Wish I found more than one of these. We could've swapped.

    It's either a die crack or a cat hair. The photo is a little blurry and it looks like either to me.

    I know the photo is crappy. I have never tried to take a picture of anything less than the whole coin before.
    I can assure you it's not a cat hair. One I dont have a cat, and secondly I find it hard to beleive that a hair would land on the exact same spot on over 25 coins.
    There is also two small cracks going from the bottom right tip of his shirt collar to the edge of the coin and back. I will try and take some better picture tomorrow.

    The cat hair is my own in joke. Cat hair is the bane of my existence.

    In my world, it is possible for a cat hair to be on the same place on 25 coins. With enough cat hairs, this is statistically probable.

    Sorry P mint. I ordered them from the new "buy for face value" program at the mint.

    did you get a mixture? Or were they all P mint? The mint description was very misleading IMO

    I ordered $250 dollars and received 10 rolls all P mint. The same wrappers as you would get from you bank, not the yellow mint ones.

    I have some extreme Jefferson Eyelid coins. But I think it's a pretty common form.
