Die Crack Quarter

[Jarl]

I posted back in November about some die break/crack quarters that I had. I managed to get a closeup of one. It's a 1998P. I thought this particular one was interesting because it cuts through the eagles head. I am sure there are many more like it. Just sharing. All comments welcome.

Thanks for looking.

Mind if I ask what you use to photograph your quarter? I like the close-up detail you managed to capture...

I used a lens reversal ring. Flash position was a problem, because I almost literally had the lens on top of the quarter so it was difficult to get the right amount of light at such close range. But opted for a small f stop for the detail in exchange for some light. I'm going to make some adjustments and things to perfect the results in the future. I could not find my tripod so i had to shot hand held. Was a chore. Thanks for comments.

Error coins are fun to find and collect.

Nice Die Crack! I believe that a good name for them would be "Speared Eagle's Head" if and when you ever try to sell some of these off.
