[QUOTE="yakpoo, post: 701243, member: 18157"]I was wondering if there were any CT experts that have noticed recurring die cracks on early silver Washington quarters (across multiple dates and mint marks). The three recurring die cracks I've been seeing on my coins are... 1) Obverse...across the top of Washington's head just below his "widow's peak" (front to back...and sometimes into the field behind his head) 2) Obverse...a 4-5 mm spine from the point of Washington's bust and curving upward toward "trust". 3) Reverse...a crack that starts at the top of the "Q" in Quarter and runs up the outside of the eagle's right wing (left as you face it). I still don't have a camera, but will post some pictures when I can. I was hoping the description might ring a bell. I'm thinking it may result from a structual weakness in the die due to the quarter's basic design.[/QUOTE]
