I found another one. Searched 1969 D halfs till my eyes bleed. If you did not see the last post regarding this error there is an unidentified clash or something between the eagles wings and legs. Here it is. this one seems to be a later die state. Some of the details from the original coin are gone. The extra rays Are not there and the right side of the anomaly is much weaker. The rays below the motto are completely polished away. There are polish lines everywhere that are not on the original coin. Here is the original. now that i have the second example in hand i will be sending them to @mikediamond if you have a theory of what it is please comment.
Im learning here. Im trying to understand what you guys are looking at. Can you describe what you are seeing that could be an error? Sorry for the newbie request but Im super curious. Theres something you see between the wings and legs?
I think the op is talking about the die gouge or die clash showing right between the eagle's leg and wing feathers on the left side of the reverse. Look closely and you can see what looks like a needle coming out of the eagle's left leg. It's great when new collectors come on here and actually try to learn more about the hobby.
Normal reverse top. New variety below. It's pretty big. Not sure what needle you see. Big raised area above both legs.
That looks like part of the design, like the eagles lower thighs. It equal in size and on both sides.
Awesome! Those definitely aren't supposed to be there. Curious that they are similar in shape. I Gotta find my own now!
Steve.e I noticed something on your coin I have seen before on other clad year halves. Don't know if it is pertinent to your bumps but look at the photo. Curious that it doesn't appear to be on your second find with the later die state.
Yea not sure. There are many polish lines. May have polished them away. Hope to have more information soon. Thanks for looking
I just looked through about 100 halfs....not one has what you found. I hope you found something GREAT! So cool!!!!
I also looked at my collection and I have some really worn ones and some super ridiculously polished...every one of them shows those "rays". Definitely on to something....and Im as green as a leaf in this hobby and can see it.
I just sent a 2018 d pictured rocks quarter into anacs for verification and picture. It has 3 lamination peel on obverse and one on washingtons pigtail .. did anyone out there send one in for verification yet? "
