1997-P Quarter (Reverse) Tail, Left Wing and legs/claws Errors

Anyone seen one like this before? Check tail between legs, left wing and legs/claws. Can't fly with his tail disconnected! lol

It's my guess that the die was polished too much.

They are all like that. All from 1932-1998.

 

That are all definitely not like that.
Must agree over polished die. nice find I'd buy that for a dollar

 

Really? never heard of that! Searcher, do you have any that you can share?

 

Thats what I was thinking...thanks.

 

I have complete set of the Washington quarters. I picked up one, Monday at our club meeting. It's a 1952s ms65. It doesn't have any back ground area that the person talks about above. There is no polished out area.

 

Thanks, what other information do you have on this error?

 

It's not an error. Take any M65 or greater and look. Look at that era proofs. To be a polished error, you first need to have the before, and show the after areas.

 

What Chris was talking about is the polished die that created the impresion and not the coin itself. if its not an error than what should I call it?

 

97p Ms66 97s Pf 67. not a polished coin a polished die.

 

ok, now I see what its missing on my coin. Thanks.

 

@Searcher64 don't understand your statement about it not being an error.
It's like saying a three legged buffalo nickle is not an error. who has a 1997p quarter die to photograph? let alone 2 one that is in like new condition and one that has been over polished. Could you post a pic of you're 52s Ms65? sounds really interesting.

 

I do see what you are talking about. I looked at my set that goes back to 1932. most do not have the stuff between the legs. I have many unc 60++ up to Ms 67. most do not have it. so, if the die is new and the press pressure is high, then yes, you could be correct. Bill Fivaz would be the person to ask. I will talk to him soon [Jan], and see what he tells. I will get back later.

 

Ok, now what about the left wing? there is a big difference between the left and right...was this meant to be...I don't think so...any clarification is most welcomed and appreciated...thanks!

 

It's all the results of an over polished die.
I have a nearly complete set of Washington's 0 of them resemble your coin

 

@Searcher64 could you post some pics?

 

I don't know if it's really an error...or just a variety, I suppose it depends on your collecting focus. But either way...it's not well know or sought after. It's a fun find though and an interesting piece.

 

Every coin ever minted is a variety. I get it. So in that since searcher 64 and you are rite it's not an error. @Defenderone please see the tread called profound thought for an explanation.

 

you really think that they will really produce a coin or variety of this type? I don't think so...I just know that something went wrong with this and other coins that may have the same conditions...lets remember coins are made to be and look "perfect" but this is something else, there is a big difference... I will stay with an over polished die error...Thanks.
