I see a die marker error from There is die marker running from rim goes under O and under bottom of R. I also see a die marker running under the V and then one from the I going under the C also all happening in the word VICTORY I dont believe they are damaged otherwise they wouldn't be under the letters right ? the letters would show the damage.
A die marker isn’t an error. A die marker is something on the die like a small die crack or cleanings lines that help identify a variety. it’s very difficult to tell from those pics, but I see what could be a die crack in the area you are showing.
i wasnt sure what is was called but remember reading worn out dies can cause this appearance. it looked like the pics i saw. thank you
The lines you noted under the lettering of Victory and under the devices elsewhere are most likely die gouges and die scrapes. https://www.error-ref.com/die-scrapes/
Take a close look at your quarter.. the letters in that area are incused into the field. Meaning that there can't anything going underneath the letters in question. I see just circulation damage. Hits and dents.
I was even thinking of the lines she was pointing out to be die trails, but your younger eyes and error entender are most often dead-on.
This area of a coin shows the most die wear on a coin, as said the surface is flat. Now if there was a die crack, or a cud, filled die. Then that would be a die marker.
I sure do hope you find something Miss Yvon. I admire your persistence..... And don't overlook the historical aspect of coin collecting!
