Dr. Mary Edward’s Walker

[JammieLee]

So I found this quarter 2024 Dr. Mary Edwards and I have searched for this variety and I’ve done my research and I found nothing out there. That is like this. I do believe it is a third eye on Dr. Mary’s cheek, but other than that, I do not know, I’m new to collecting so please help my name is Jammie

100% a reed hit. you can see the beginning of reeds opposite both sides of the divot. seen a million of them. even if it isn't and JUST looks exactly like a reed hit, it is not an error or collectable nor will there be another one out there exactly like that unless someone intentionally did it and made more.

a reed can hit a coin out of a bag and create a mark like that but most of the time (outisde human interference) it happens in bags. probably even ballistic bags which literally weigh like a ton.

i've seen em in person, they are freakin huge. be VERY easy for bottom-baggers (coins) to get all kinds of wacky things done to them, even way back when in morgan/peace canvas bags.

Ok then explain why it looks just like the eye of the outher 2 I’m confused if u where to line them up to the eye it would be a perfect match .. I’ve looked up the. Reed hit.. I guess u must see it. In person under a microscope because that is a mint error it looks just like the. Outher two eyes explain that please

I agree, it's not a third eye, it's nearly impossible for this to happen. All working dies are made from the same master die and IF it was it should have affected all the other working dies as well. In addition, working dies do not strike just a single coin. They typically stike over 300,000 quarters per working die on average. Where are all the others?

That area is not even close to the same shape. You can debunk that by creating an photo overlay and super imposing an eye over that damaged area.
I am not going to do the overlay, because it's honestly not even a slim possibility.

People in here offer their opinions. Most have decades of experience and know the minting process. Feel free to ask questions, but accepting these opinions will season a person faster and people will continue to answer posts. If they feel they need to explain themselves too far in something that is not what they believe it is, then they may not respond any more to those type posts.

We work as a team here. There is a lot of give and less take for a select few. We appreciate your interest in errors and we hope to help you out in the future.

The problem with is is..... you see it in your view and three others don't see it in the photos. We cant explain something that we typically do not see. We see it as a bag mark/ reeding hit. You see it differently. Since we dont agree with the extra eye scenario, we cant "assume" what you see is the answer....At that point it becomes a hypothetical situation and we would be guessing.

I don't know about others on this forum but in my opinion, I call them like I see them, not how some one else sees things.
