Hello All. I posted this in coin chat by mistake.....I took a few more shots of this quarter to see if anyone can see what I see. The out of focus shot hopefully brings out the S under Q in quarter. There is a pit around the eye and nose bridge I believe may be another eye. I tried hard to bring out the Y above the B in liberty and there is a Pillar of a letter above liberty also. Please look very hard and let me know if you can tell. Thanks All.
You're finding minor anomalies on a product that is produced with metal dies on metal planchets, with 60-85 tons of pressure. On many many modern coins such as these, there is die deterioration, overused dies, mechanical doubling, minor struck thru's, etc. In the purest sense of the word, they might be considered an error(s) on the coin, but in reality, that's how metal objects, struck in the tens to hundreds of thousands, look like. Good study points as far as the minting process, but not significant enough to bring premiums.....good to add to a collection of 'different' items found in circulation or in new rolls/bags, but not good enough to sell for any decent premium.
Four threads on the same coin? just about all these answers have been given in the other three, Why? It's a spender!
Normal deterioration. Perhaps you are looking a little too hard with the microscope? For me, unless I can see something plainly with the naked eye, I don't get excited about it.
