  1. obviously a pic of 3 2008 ariz qtrs. the bottom one ariz.jpg being what the quarter should look like and the other 2, same error covering initials. only at different levels of coverage. Are these common?

    I just now got to these posts, but coincidentally, I looked at 28 P and D Arizona quarters this morning...found zero with the chips at either location.

    I accumulated these starting in 2012 through May 2018, I re-assessed the grading on them all and pulled 12 out to be released back to the wild, they had too many fine scratches in the fields and were worn enough that I felt I shouldn't have kept them in the first place.

    I credit CoinTalk for improving my grading skills. I still have a long way to go...

    Update: It was 11 coins not 12. A last check before putting them in rolls around 1:30am (Pacific time) I found 1 with the extra cactus leaf at the designers initials...my very first one...Spark

    Looks like a polished die in
    the designer's initials area.
