1924-S Typical Die Clash TDC-25C-1924S-01

Description

Cataloged by MadDieClashes as TDC-25C-1924S-01, this 1924 San Francisco Mint Standing Liberty Quarter exhibits a typical die clash showing the standard clash pattern for the denomination. The clash transfers visible design elements between dies: Liberty's robe and right leg from the obverse appear on the reverse, while the eagle's tail feathers appear near Liberty's right elbow on the obverse. Additional transferred elements include the E of E PLURIBUS UNUM, the U and S of PLURIBUS, and the M of AMERICA, all visible as incuse impressions where the opposing die's design was forced into the working die face during a planchetless strike. Struck in 90% silver (0.7734 oz ASW), the Standing Liberty Quarter series (1916-1930) is particularly prone to die clashes due to the high-relief design elements on both sides. The 1924-S had a mintage of approximately 2.86 million pieces from San Francisco. Typical die clashes on Standing Liberty Quarters follow predictable transfer patterns based on the spatial alignment of obverse and reverse design elements, and TDC-25C-1924S-01 documents the standard manifestation on the 1924-S date.
