    I know these aren't real errors, but this one is pretty significant, much more so in hand. I just couldn't find the right way to photograph it to show the effects properly. There is some on the obverse, but very strong on the reverse especially at 1-2

    I like the spitting horse. But what's your point with this quarter?

    The radial lines around the majority of the fields just inside the interior circle, particularly behind the bird's head.

    Like I said it's hard to show, obvious in hand.

    I can see those lines. It looks like the coin is being stretched.

    The only thing I can picture with this is the scene in Chevy Chase's Christmas where he's in the lingerie dept. and he says to his son, "Can't see the lines can you Rusty." Pertaining to Mary the salesperson.
