I found another 2012 quarter with a identical line coming out of the third limb of this tree next to the lighthouse roof line.The first photo is new coin and the second the old,has anyone come across the same thing?
I added a red line to the spot on the coins that i am talking about and also i found Acadia 2012 D Quarter # 3 with the same line.
I have new macro shots from different angles it appears to show some sort of conflict with the lighthouse roof line.
These are 3 different quarters could there be something in the design to make a die crack occur in the exact same spot on these 3 coins?
If it is indeed a die crack (which I am unsure if it is), then the 3 coins probably came from the same die.
I think what you are saying is that if the crack is from the same die that it would be in the exact spot but the die crack appearance could be longer shorter or wider.
The way he phrased that, I'd say it could be. If he found a coin from a later die state first, then a coin from an earlier die state, then the crack would be shorter, as it had progressed less at that point.
