    Lets see the minor errors and variety's not worth a thread of their own.
    Post em, tell us what you see. then we will move on to the next.
    I have a stack of minor but interesting die states/and errors.
    I will start with the first.
    Here is a 70D It shows a multiple clash and a counter clash.
    I am not sure which came first but it looks like the die was polished in between the events, or simply the obverse die was softer than the reverse and it transferred the design much easier. Either way the employee was able to remove the majority from the reverse.
    This is a blazing coin the carbon spots hurt it a bit though.

    The wobbly 7th pillar gives away the heavy polishing the reverse undertook.
    Please post any coins that you don't want to start an individual thread about.
    Let us see your interesting/uninteresting finds.

    Here is a die clashed coin. It shows on the obverse with the light at just the right angle. The impressed "C" at the Y was hard to photograph.

    Internal Die Breaks or "Die Chips". Two chips on each side of coin.
    Can you find them?

    I have this very interesting, I believe, strike through. Lots of die sctraches and metal missing everywhere. On the Obverse he neck has die scratches, in the hair line coming down the back of his neck that is not supposed to have separation. His nose doesn't even have a bridge to it. On the back, Reserve, more die sctraches effecting the flames. There is a whole in the small flames, there should be metal there even if cleaned or PMD there should be metal there and there is not. Lastly look at things like the drummer boys ponytail. Compare it to anyone of the bicentennial coins he barely has a ponytail. The metal is completely superated. The more I look at it the more crazy it looks. And cleaning doesn't magically make metal disappear just fade it.

    I think it's in very good condition but I could be wrong.

    Thanks for checking my coin out! Let me know your thoughts!

    Not sure what it is Daniel.
    Your quarter has been over polished.
    Still a fun find though.

    If it was overpolished to the point of wear why doesn't it match on certain areas? There is metal messing not polished away. There is also extra metal in places look at the collar on the drummer boy. Your telling me polish takes metal away and adds it in completely unrelated areas?

    Your coin has had a heavy die polishing. That is what the heavy parallel lines are on both sides of the coin. As for the reason it was polished, I don't know.
