<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Collecting Nut, post: 3197064, member: 74863&quot;]Here is the best photo I can get of this coin. This type of error is known as a Die Adjustment Strike. They are commonly called Die Trails. This error occurs when a coin is struck from the press with very little pressure. When the press is being set up or adjusted extremely weak strikes occur as the strike pressure reaches its optimum level.</p><p><br /></p><p>If the pressure is too strong the Die can break. If the pressure is not strong enough details are to weak on the coin. The machine is adjusted to make all details to be on the coin are present. </p><p><br /></p><p>Die Trial coins are destroyed after being struck during this adjustment or set up process. There are rarely found in circulation and are considered rare.</p><p><br /></p><p>If the coin has normal reeding it is struck through grease. If the reeding is weak it is probably a Die Adjustment Strike.</p><p><br /></p><p>Photos, especially while in a slab, are impossible for me to capture. The reeding is weak but present. There is a small scrape on the neck but this is from a planchet flaw. This would have been removed if the pressure was set correctly but it remained as the pressure was to weak.</p><p><br /></p><p>The outside edges of the coins surface are barely present. In hand you can just barely see the top of LIBERTY and the very bottom on 196. With a 10x the last digit appears to be a 4. All the motto shows is D WE ST for IN GOD WE TRUST. No hairlines show on Washington and the ribbon is weak. His facial bones are flat.</p><p><br /></p><p>The reverse is the same with less than the lower half of QUARTER DOLLAR showing. Only E and U show in the motto over the eagle. All details on the eagle are washed out along with the olive branch but the right side is a little bit stronger than the left side.</p><p><br /></p><p>A weak rim is present. Due to the lack of details this is one of the earlier Die Adjustments. As the pressure is increased the details become stronger.</p><p><br /></p><p>I did not have this type of error so as soon as I saw it, it was a matter of pricing. The seller and I are both pleased with the price. This is also my first NGC slab as I don&#039;t like the white. I fee it detracts from the coin. It&#039;s great looking in my hand and now it&#039;s part of The Collecting Nut collection.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]826592[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]826593[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
