Got this in tip change a few days ago, and when counting out my money for the night, saw the die crack on the obverse. Thought that was great except for the 'ding' in the upper right at about 1 o'clock. However, when I got home and checked the quarter under my loop I found that the reeding on the edge wasn't damaged! So the 'ding' wasn't a ding at all. Is it a small cud? The reverse also has what I think might be the third error, with the M in America being partially filled in. Not sure if that'd be considered a cud error, or a die crack error, or what. Aren't cud errors usually only called such when they involve the rim of the coin? The last A in America also looks odd, but I'm fairly certain that it's thin/wavy because of PMD. I can't under 10x see any clear dings on the A, and it doesn't appear to be raised at all, so I'm not certain what's causing it. It bothered me to the point that I went on a hunt for other Indiana quarters to compare the A's, and the one on this quarter certainly is thinner and oddly shaped. So, how many errors are really on this coin, and is there any sort of premium for coins that have multiple errors? I know certain errors are worth more and others are rarely collected, but this is my first coin with at least two flaws that aren't PMD. Not looking to sell it really, but curious as to what it may be worth over face value.
A cud is a die break along the rim that extends into the field, so this is just a die break rather than a cud. Filled die chips are rather common on the smaller lettering of the state quarters (California has a bunch) and die cracks are also pretty common, too. None of these add any real value to the coin. This can't be a grease-filled die since none of the letter "M" is missing. Chris
This May Help I agree with Chris 100% . There is a few Die Variety & error 90% are listed @ John Wexler site link below.You will have to read thur the site but John has add more each mouth!! :kewl: www.doubleddie.com http://doubleddie.com/179401.html
