<p>[QUOTE=&quot;digger, post: 36829, member: 1827&quot;]<b>State Quarter Dropped Letter Error picture is in</b></p><p><br /></p><p>I have just found my first freed Die clog pattern coin. I don&#039;t know what to really call it though. It is created when a die clog is liberated and retains its basic shape and then causes a recessed image of the original pattern when the Die strikes the planchet. In my case I have an extra &quot;D&quot; in the word &quot;UNITED&quot; on a State Quarter. Mine is rotated 90 degrees and is recessed in the same spot where it originated.(I&#039;m assuming I diagnosed it correctly)&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Question 1 : What is the official name of this occurance?</p><p><br /></p><p>Question 2 : Is it an error or damage?</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;It is not listed in the Redbook. IMHO it is an error because the mint did not intend to do it, But what do I know!</p><p>&nbsp;The pattern is recognizable and should make the coin more interesting and desirable, it does to me anyway!</p><p>&nbsp;If it is scarce this should make it even more valuable. Its condition is likely MS 65 shiny and new from a roll.</p><p><br /></p><p>Question 3 : Does anyone agree that this type of error should have more recognition and value?</p><p><br /></p><p>Question 4 : Is it normal to submit this for attribution? If not Should it be the norm?</p><p><br /></p><p>Question 5: Has anyone got a listing for this in any book, or heard of this particular error on any State Quarter?</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;I am not saying which coin I discovered this on until I have a thorough understanding. For now at least I am convinced that I have something fairly unique and I am thrilled to have it.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Question 6 : Anyone want to see it?</p><p><br /></p><p>I apollogize for such a long post and any typos.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks again!</p><p>Digger[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
