I was checking some of my quarters and came upon this--not my specialty, maybe someone can chime in, I wonder if a really good quarter person can even guess the date. one pic was with flash, one without--tried to get some close features.

    The mint changed mint mark punches every now and then as they wore out or broke. This is correct for this year.

    Was there a small S on this date? Looks like large/small to me.

    I think there would be more details if it was an S/S. It appears it could be die chips or something like that.

    Still, an interesting anomaly.... I would keep it just because it is different. Cheers, RickO

    Looks like die chips from a late die state.
