<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Oldhoopster, post: 4269487, member: 84179&quot;]Late to the thread and just had a chance to read through it.&nbsp; As Fred W. and others have confirmed it’s a die small die chip.&nbsp; It seems the ATB quarters a very susceptible to chips, which makes sense, the reverse dies are usually detailed, the mint has to make a dies for 5 different designs each year, and by the time they actually get them into production and find out the high stress areas, there is no time make minor design modifications to die because they need to mint the next design.&nbsp; If you look in the archives, you’ll see numerous pictures of ATB quarters with die chips.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I don’t believe the OPs coin is anything special or unusual.&nbsp; It’s just a simple die chip, similar to dozens (hundreds?) of different die chips found on ATB Quarters.&nbsp; I think it’s in a cool location and would put it in a 2x2, but wouldn’t consider paying a premium for it.&nbsp; The things you see on ebay are just people trying to hype something that’s common in the hopes that uneducated collectors will think it’s “rare and valuable”.&nbsp; [USER=110337]@PacificFleet[/USER]&nbsp; I hope the purpose of your thread is not to try to hype this in order to make money off new collectors.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
