[QUOTE="ToughCOINS, post: 2825573, member: 20480"]Okay, I need more unbiased eyes than just my own to decide if what I think is really true. I've found photos of a couple of other 1926-D quarters with similar die breaks and cracks, and they've always looked so much alike to me that I assumed they were all necessarily identical. If you've got the time, please have a look at each, and especially the length of the rim cud, and let me know how you think they compare with mine. Are they exactly the same, or do they differ?

If that's the case, then if the coins were all struck by the same obverse die, the die break started smaller, and gradually increased in size as more bits broke off.
