Found this today 2005 minnesota quarter error

I found this in my change today. I'm surprised it was scooped up earlier. I looked for other coins with this error but I havn't found any other examples.

Die crack. Very common.

 

I had posted one earleir that had the same crack in the same place, but a tad thinner

 

Would this be called the Spiked Head...??...I know that kind of error on ebay sells for big $$$

Speedy

 

is it just me or is there a die crack coming ou from the nose.

 

Speedy, "Spiked Head" die cracks are usually refering to proofs with a die crack running almost straight north from the 6 o'clock position up into the head. The big $$ is b/c its an eye catching proof error, circulated coins don't carry as much of a premium.

 

Thanks lawdogct...

CoinRollGuy...its just you.. ;--)

If you look again...its coming from the neck..

Speedy

 

No I mean I see something coming from the tip of the nose it goes out at a 10 to 15 degree angle and then seems to change directions.

 

I see what your talking about. Its hard to tell from the picture if that was from the mint....or someones car keys

 

I went and looked again...it does look like it could be a small crack...the only way to find out is to wait till Jwolfdnb comes back and says what it looks like.
