2007 Idaho Error

I have seen 8 of these this morning - all exactly the same. Top two of the set are fine, bottom two are not.

What do you think?

Thanks

nice die crack there

 

It's to symbolize that strings were attached when Idaho joined the Union.

 

Thanks for the laugh.

Thanks - I only received two of the errors - was wishing I had gotten all eight.

 

If I were to get more of these, would it be worth sending 1 or 2 off to be graded as an error?

 

Allways worth a try mate :smile nice finds

 

Thanks - I picked up a few more at lunch. It is been interesting to look at them as not all of the cracks are the same. Here is one that is a little more pronounced.

It's called a progression, die cracks do that. I would not bother to send them off for slabbing. Even if you sent them in as moderns and not under the error coin catagory you would still pay about $15 plus shipping and insurance both ways to slab a coin worth at most $1.

 

Is that a second crack from the bottom of the first "U" in "UNUM" to the coin edge, that didn't appear on the first ones pictured?

 

No, just a ding. Have not seen any other areas that are cracked.

 

Okay, one for the experts - are these two different die cracks?

Notice the first one is almost parallel to the bottom of the state and the second one (like all the others I have shown) is almost a 45 degree angle to the corner of the state.

 

I love those cracks

:hatch:Darryl, You're on a roll. Now you know these things come in 3's. Since you are diversifimg your die cracks you can always send some samples to me. I love cracks. Really.

Other than the cracks, NICE FINDS. May you be blest with many more

 

Thank you Doug, Seems a little odd to see the cracks come together in the same place (corner of the state)??? Glad I asked the question as I could not understand how they could possibly be the same.

 

Thanks Bruce

 

I just knew that was coming when I typed the words. :smile The question is though - why the corner of this design? Maybe it happens more than I realize on other quarters or maybe the folks at the mint catch them before they really get out (later would surprise me a little). I suspect that they only catch them (die issues) at the end of a run or if the die really comes apart.

This was so obvious I am surprised I have not seen them on ebay - then again I have not been watching for errors. It was really a fluke that I received these straight from a new roll. Really a neat day for me - doesn't take much to make me happy...

Best Regards

 

I received a couple of these in change the other week. I noticed the die crack right away. All of the ones I received as change were the same for me though.
