1996 P Washington With Rev Die Break

There is a die break on the lower reverse "Dollar" and upper reverse at states. It could be the same break across the entire piece.

From your photos I can't see where the die break on the upper portion connects to the break at the bottom. Do you have any photos showing a possible connection? Rim to Rim Die Breaks are cool.

 

nice find either way!

 

Meow found a Arizona P State Quarter with multiple Die cracks once. BU quarter. Sorry but Meow too these pics about a year ago and did not take one of the whole coin. And the coin is loooooong stashed in the Cat hoard. And oh, there are 4 cracks in the quarter.

 

I agree. I don't see the connection either. But, I did see some indications which I will try to focus on and photo. Thanks for the feedback.

 

A great example of 2 Die breaks coming together as one.

 

I looked as close as I could and can't see a connection point. It looks like 2 independent breaks. However, there appear to be other breaks on the coin. I will try to get some photos and post them.

 

Try turning your flash off. Use a secondary light behind your camera. Photograph on a piece of white printer paper.

 

I forgot take 3 pics from very slightly different angles. Crop Just the coin. Nobody wants or needs to see your table. After all we are all here to look at coins,Not tables! LOL! Then post the best of the three. It will take a few minutes,But the better the pic,the better the advice!

 

Thanks< I will try that. In the meantime here is another 1996 P Wash with Die Breaks on the reverse.

 

Inspector, Those are nice "die cracks" but not die breaks. A die break will run rim to rim across the coin/field/device. I personally would kick this quarter. But if you like then keep it. The better you get,and the more interesting coins you find you might kick it down the road. If not that's also good too!

 

I use to keep every spikehead I found. A die crack that contacts the bust or head on the obverse of a coin. Now I just keep the ones with 2 or more unconnected die cracks that connect with the head. I have a few nickels with 4 different contacts, But isn't a die break,because they don't connect.

 

@2manyhobbies Here is a different Washington Die Break that I just took a photo of and cropped it. Is this what you were trying to impress on me?

 

.....that's a die crack

 

Thanks. I have 2 primary goals on this forum: 1 - learn as much as I can (in 70 years of collecting I was only concerned with Date, Mint and Eye Appeal). 2 - catalog as much of my experience as I can so that my children, grandchildren and great grandchildren (those that in all too short of time will inherit this accumulation) will at least respect what is there and have a leg up on continuing or disposing of the collection. I put all of these in 2X2's and describe on them what I have learned. Thanks again.

 

Did cracks my friend, die cracks.

 

Thanks for the correction. In my post I called them die breaks when I should have called them properly, as die cracks.

 

There is a difference.
