<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jtlee321, post: 2730378, member: 73983&quot;]So I visited my favorite B&amp;M today.&nbsp; They&#039;ve been in a dry spell for new material and I just could not leave empty handed.&nbsp; So I decided to take a look through the error coins he had on hand.&nbsp; I came across this 1970-D Washington Quarter that has a ragged clipped planchet, at least that&#039;s what I think it&#039;s classified as.&nbsp; I had seen it there for quite a while and never really paid much attention to it. </p><p><br /></p><p>Well sometimes the coolest things can come home with you when you decide to open your eye&#039;s.&nbsp; I finally looked it over and noticed how worn the dies were that struck this ragged planchet.&nbsp; I fell in love with it.&nbsp; The quarter is in spectacular condition and it shows off the metal flow in spades.&nbsp; The ragged clip is just amazing with a really nice peeled lamination of the cupro nickel layer off of George&#039;s head.&nbsp; The crack in the planchet travels over half way across the coin down George&#039;s neck on the obverse and up the Eagle&#039;s leg over it&#039;s shoulder and up it&#039;s neck on the reverse.</p><p><br /></p><p>So I took it home to add to my collection as a great example of a mint error struck on really tired dies.&nbsp; The photo&#039;s below are really high resolution so you can zoom in and look it over.&nbsp; Enjoy. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>PS, I also brought home a handful of other coins as well.&nbsp; I will be posting those in another thread to come.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]620637[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]620638[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
