    Just got finished examining a roll of uncirculated Virginia- Harpers Ferry-p. I found on the overs several bust cracks and small chips on several of the coins in the roll. And on the reverse it seems the bell tower is going to be a focal point for chips as you can see in the pics. So far a total of six Bell Tower chips. Three on top and three on the eve. And several miscellaneous that I have not identified yet. This is going to be a very interesting quarter especially with all the windows.:):blackalien:

    I noticed that you change your avatar from time to time. Have you ever used or considered using the 2005 USMC Commem?

    Chris I actually have that commemorative in my collection. And I'm sure you've notice I haven't changed my avatar in a while. Basically I just been trying to play well with others. And I'm sure one day I'll get in the mood to go back and change my avatar,:joyful::blackalien: achmed.gif

    Just finished going through my second uncirculated roll. I found this roll even more interesting than the first. Out of a roll I had seven of them with roof column chips and some kind of chimney doubling.? None of the 40 had any overs cracks or chips like in my first 40. And we need to add another five of the chimney doubling. I can't wait to see what the next roll brings. Enjoy the photos:blackalien:

    Very interesting, I think you will enjoy these ORT cracks. I'm sure you will find like I did when you start going through these, you're going to find an overabundance of these.:eek::blackalien: hf-12.jpg

    It seems these Harper fairies quarters have a lot of reverse problems, this next chip I must've put over 500 of them back into circulation.:rolleyes::blackalien: rkc-1.jpg rkc-2.jpg

    So far I've only found one with a chip all the way across the opening. Still don't think it's big enough for a die crack.:blackalien: Fort McKinley-1.jpg

    Adding another one to this list. This one I especially liked because I call it a ghost image. I'm sure there's an appropriate name for it. But it showing the image for future chip. I'd like it.:happy::blackalien: hf9-6-1.jpg

    The first one of these chips in over 6000 quarters. I'd like to call this one public telephone cthf-1.jpg cthf-3.jpg You have to like the coincidence. The chip just above the PH.:blackalien:
