    It was a joke chocho - that's why the :D :D

    As you should know by now, I have a lot to learn when it comes to errors. The coin you pictured could be the result of anything from a grease filled die to a test strike - I just don't know. But others here do - that's what I meant when I said you should get a useful answer soon.

    It's all the advantage of them being in mint bags...you know it's the fault of the Mint and not a car, unless for some bazzarr reason, they fell out of the truck from the Mint to the bank and you got lucky. If that's the case, be honest, but if not, excellent find to the both of you!

    Oh I assure You, With Gloves on these fingers, and very gently, *grins* I pulled it out of the bag I got from the mint.. and said to myself...*oh my..I think I've got something here* then came here to show and tell and find out for sure just what I do have. Thank You Coin Kid for Looking and posting :thumb:

    I would say a die crack and a grease filled die....common error but collected by some.
    I have a friend that is trying to do a complete set of State Quarters with grease filled error.

    Not total true--there is someone that seals the bags....there are many ways that a coin can be damaged in a sealed mint bag.

    No, not much of an error...only worth about $1 but I've seen them go for over $100 on ebay.

    I just got a bag of Philadelphia Nevada quarters and about ten or so had a very small die chip on the rear forward leg of the third horse. Makes it appear to have a swollen leg. Or your description of the horse taking a crap, gives a new meaning to running scared, they must be running from a round up. just thought I would add my two cents worth.

    My opinion only but of all the state quarters I like this one the best. Best error I found was a couple dozen of these, I assume it's the previously christened horse poop variety out of the philadelphia bag.

    Looks like a planchet flaw - it was there before the coin was struck.
