    I searched through 3 $500 bricks of Quarter's over the last week and this last box gave me some great finds. So far I've found a W mint marked V75 Salt River Bay, a 2008 Alaska crossed claw die chip, 2 Washington Crossing the Delaware hat die chips, and a 2021 Tuskegee Airman Quarter with a die chip that completely covers the upper aircraft cockpit! I believe it might be a first. I haven't seen one like this reported. I could be wrong but.....All the error's I've seen reported so far is the "burning building" and a die chip above the Pilots helmet. If I'm wrong about this find someone please let me know. here's some pics.

    Looks like the pilots plane was hit and he can’t bail out.

    I'm thinking someone out there might have the "burning building" error and would like to add this to their collection. On magnification it looks like the canopy is on fire!

    That's exactly what it looks like. It's more than a little creepy.

    Certainly a cool error, although not the first to be found... Just Google: 2021 Tuskegee airmen burning plane. Fun find though! :)

    Ok. Well I found out I'm not the 1st with the Die Chip error on the Planes. Seems like some others have been found. Not exactly like mine but still chips on de Planes!

    I have the one on the right side almost identical. But I have feeder fingers added to mine also.
