    2018 P Michigan ATB Quarter DDO-001 with split Reverse rim

    Hi all, I have a question about the reverse rim on this 2018 P Michigan Pictured Rocks DDO Quarter. I see a sort of split rim going from 3 o’clock to 9 o’clock. This is on all of these I have looked at so far. Is this a die defect? There seems to be areas where there is coin metal in the split itself.

    Greetings, as on your other coin with the anomaly along the rim, it could possibly be from several scenarios,

    1. A worn or damaged groove in the upset mill.

    2. Improperly machined grooves

    3. Use of upsetting equipment intended for a different

    denomination (domestic or foreign)

    4. Use of upsetting equipment with grooves of an experimental nature

    5. Circumferential pre-strike damage that resembles the effects of upsetting

    The appearance of abnormal upset is highly variable and suggests many different causes, maybe others can elaborate on this.

      Great Info from ERROR-REF.COM Dutch-Tigger! I enjoy going down those rabbit holes. This Michigan Quarter seems to be more of what PART VI says about Striking Errors and Misaligned dies. I am going to copy/paste this on the 1982 Quarter thread. Thanks alot for the info.
