Description
DC-25c-2016P-03R(SNP), a reverse die chip for the 2016 Philadelphia Mint Shawnee National Forest quarter, follows DC-25c-2016P-02R(SNP) as a catalog entry for this ATB design. A die chip occurs when a small piece of the die face breaks away from the working surface. Unlike the large, rim-adjacent breaks that produce cuds, die chips are interior fractures that leave correspondingly smaller raised areas on struck coins. The distinction between the -02R and -03R catalog numbers indicates these chips were found on different dies and at different locations on the reverse. The America the Beautiful quarter program's elaborate pictorial reverses, rich in naturalistic detail, introduced design complexities not present on the simpler heraldic reverse that preceded it. Cataloged by Cuds on Coins.
