Could be die crack or some gouges but the color is toning from being in a cup holder or something.

What would fully determine if they are die cracks? And whata a cup holder? Could the toning add extra value? Especially since it is such an extreme case of toning. And the quarters are both in what I would say if not a low MS grade then a high AU grade.

Hard to see things in detail with images, they could be scratches as well and the toning does not look eye appealing in these images. So these coins would be worth face value.

When I look at the markings under magnification they are raised as if it's extra metal. Doesn't look like scratched at all

The they could be die gouges or die cracks, but they're minor and would not be considered dramatic enough to add value.

Please don't keep bumping your topic, other members have questions as well, thanks.

:confused: What does the term "Bumping" mean? Thanks.

The scratches/gouges are usually on the working die which creates an incuse design ("raised" metal) when the die strikes the coin.

Thanks! I just had never heard the term.
Still using very old school "verbage" here and trying to get caught up on current terminology! lol:
