<p>[QUOTE="tommyc03, post: 2298605, member: 17665"]These are die breaks Sheila. A very nice find. There are hundreds of variations out there and some, like yours, are outstanding examples. Keep on the lookout for all the P homestead quarters. It might even be fun to order a roll on Ebay to see what you find. So far I have located 27 varieties of the doubled dies in my roll searching and many rolls yielded a full half roll each of errors. Look inside the bottom set of windows as well as at the pump handle. There are now over 100 doubled dies listed on John Wexler's doubleddie.com site. However, IMHO it is not worth the expense to send these out to be slabbed and at this point no one has cataloged all the variations on these. They are a lot of fun and would be worth the effort to start a specialized collection of these in a blank quarter album to see how many different you can acquire. Somewhere, someone is probably already doing this and it would make for a great conversation point at any coin club gathering once a substantial number of coins were acquired. As was said above, these with the breaks on the roof have been nicknamed "Snow on the roof" variety, and a break at the bottom of the bucket has been named the "Leaky Bucket", as well as the chips in the stalks being called the "Popped Corn" variety". There are no set prices on any of the doubled dies or die breaks. At first some commanded high prices but as more and more were found the prices dropped out. They are fun and you can usually get a couple of dollars each for them on the bay.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
