2001 Kentucky multiple errors?

#1 Unread post by pelefishing »

New here and to posting, so looks like this may be the wrong section. Found this quarter in a sleeve of Kentucky State quarters, while there are multiple ones with a period between "God/Trust" and Die Cracks on the Roof corner and the fence, this one also had the marking left of the face. Couldn't find anything about any of these markings, any thoughts?

This is damage from another reeded coin having struck the surface and leaving reed marks behind.

:welcome:

I agree with Mark here, in the area forward of Washington's Bust, these are very distinct "impact marks" from the edge of another reeded coin.
It appears that the other markings on the coin are from "circulation damage".

Thanks, that helps. Can you clarify on the circulation damage? Do you think it would be circulation damage if there are a dozen coins with identical periods between God/We and if they had that, they also had the same markings on the roof and fence on the reverse? Sorry, still figuring out the distinctions between some of the terminology. I really appreciate the assistance and patience. 🙂

The period between God We is a die chip and would have become a permanent change in the die striking these coins. That you have a few of them confirms this, even though it would be a bit odd to have received these all together.
Not sure what you are pointing out on the reverse, but here's a "clean" example.

... I believe what you're hugeeyes on the 'roof' and the 'fence' are small,
common "die cracks".

Thanks again, this has been very helpful. I think you are right that these are small common die cracks and was confused by the fact that when they existed so did the die chip on the front. I recently got these at an estate sale and they are in tubes by state and mint. My assumption was that he bought them from the mint as I'm finding when there is a mistake in a tube, there are multiple coins with the identical mistake, although not most. I've included an example with a normal coin versus 3 of this mistake to help with some of the questions. Thanks again to everyone for the time. Think of it as helping me get my training wheels off. 🚴‍♀️

THANK YOU for 'circling – pointing out' what you're asking about in your images.
