Rivers of No Return

Ridiculous listing.

By the way.. You mentioned in one of your earlier posts that issue you are referring to is a cud.. That is incorrect. Just a Die Chip. That makes me think you are new to this and you don't completely understand the minting process and how any error, major or minor occur.

Your opinion is as valid as the next guy's and I respect that.

In the early days of this error listings for this coin were of "cud"s not cracked dies. If I had, in my reviewing and buying those listings frequently replicated the incorrect terminology that then you are right to correct me and I acknowledge the error. Thank you.

A cracked die and cud are two different things. Cracked dies are replicatable and alike one another...cuds not so much, let alone the distiguished shape of a bird ...precisely on top of the tallest tree.

 

Should have had quote marks around "cud" in reference to the sale symantics.

 

Late to the thread and just had a chance to read through it. As Fred W. and others have confirmed it’s a die small die chip. It seems the ATB quarters a very susceptible to chips, which makes sense, the reverse dies are usually detailed, the mint has to make a dies for 5 different designs each year, and by the time they actually get them into production and find out the high stress areas, there is no time make minor design modifications to die because they need to mint the next design. If you look in the archives, you’ll see numerous pictures of ATB quarters with die chips.


I don’t believe the OPs coin is anything special or unusual. It’s just a simple die chip, similar to dozens (hundreds?) of different die chips found on ATB Quarters. I think it’s in a cool location and would put it in a 2x2, but wouldn’t consider paying a premium for it. The things you see on ebay are just people trying to hype something that’s common in the hopes that uneducated collectors will think it’s “rare and valuable”. @PacificFleet I hope the purpose of your thread is not to try to hype this in order to make money off new collectors.

 

I have no current profit to gain from added publicity of this error/variety.

In fact it actually costs me more money to acquire examples with more people getting them and looking for them. Here in Hawaii I have only found a single RNR coin in a roll. Of all the 200 million of them made and selling for 2x face value online that is all that has made it here.

I have spent more money on them per-coin than likely others have and have zero remorse for doing so. It's a cool design, a great coin and definately worth every ounce of effort looking for them thus far.

Don't intend to open up shop and start selling them any time soon either.

I have had as much or more fun seeking these out than looking in vain for W's and 'slide doubles'.


Did you guys know that the Bird in the Tree and related Extra Branch errors occur only on the Philidelphia mint coins? Yet ALL mints from 2019 have exhibited some form of double dies for their RNR production.
It was shocking to get a San Francisco slide double, a West Point Slide Double/Triple, and Philidelphia double and triple die slide errors. Denver has a slight DDR but it is not as prolific as the bird in the tree or the other slides.

The really neat one is dual, bird in the tree and slide doubled "IDAHO" E Pluribus Unum". Do not have many of those unfortunately...

So no current profits, but I'm a fan and intend on sticking it out long term.

 

I agree with you .I have collected many state quarters and have many good variety coins . this looks to be only from a small die chip which really common on state quarters. Sometimes people hype them up and sell them but I doubt if they will ever hold any value in the long run. Usually only mint made mistakes will keep on holding a decent value.

 

Has anyone ever seen the awesome peeing bison coins , the extra tree minnesota DDR quarters , the Oregon DDR quarters , and the ultra detached leg bison quarters. These are good to look for plus lots of others.
