Does a crack in Washingtons head add any value?

I came across this today and was curious if it is anything special.



Thanks for any info!

Yes it can be more than face value when it is big enough ...... Sometimes when there is a defect in the examination I have a quarter that has quite a big split down The middle i priced it about 4$ . Hope that helps....I would guess yours at about 2.50 or 3$.

 

Sorry I ment a defect in the lamination

 

Ouch the looks painful!

 

This is post mint damage , the coin is worth it's face value.

 

Pmd

 

Looks like PMD to me, also

 

Thank you all for the info. But you mean it is worth melt value!

 

Melt value means it's worth essentially what the metals composing the coin are worth should they be melted down (literally). Assuming your quarter is dated post 1964, it's worth a quarter. If it happens to be silver, however, its melt value would be about $7.25.

 

I turned up the contrast on your pic and I believe it's a lamination crack.

 

I'm going against the crowd and I am saying that it IS a die crack with some chipping along the edges of the crack. However it is not significant enough to provide any extra value to the coin.

 

Thanks for the additional looks...I am also 99% sure it is not PMD but that just seems to be the go to answer for most people.
