<p>[QUOTE="rascal, post: 4704823, member: 29239"]To me this coin looks to have been struck with worn out dirty dies. Under the chin area it looks like some grease and mint debris was built up on the die. When this happens the die can still strike many identical or close to identical coins before the build up fall free off the die. My two best coins , well anyway the ones I like the most is two Minnesota state quarters that were struck with dies that had build up in round spots on the die and looks just like a finale in a fireworks display with the sunken in round areas coming out of the trees and going way up high on the reverse side of the quarters. On the obverse is one big round sunken in area on both coins in the side of Washington's head. These were the only two I found in a full box of new quarters.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
