What is going on with this Mint Mark?

Just wanted to get some expert opinions on what you all think is going on here. It is a early date Washington Quarter

Machine tripling??

 

Looks like it doesn't it.

 

I'd say. Interesting indeed. So what's the coin Joe?

 

Never mind. Read the whole post.......

 

Maybe somebody was trying to make a 1932-D Washington ?

LOL!

 

Joe: Cool MM on quarter. Looks like a little bit of everything to me: RPM + MD + PMD. I have never seen anything like it before. TC

 

I don't think PMD could be concentrated in such a small area..........

 

I am personally thinking that the initial MM has some PMD to it, then there is the MD, then the RPM. For this year, which I purposely left out, there are only three known RPM and they are all south. This would be east. Its on my list of coins to send out to James Wiles unless the gang here can convince me otherwise and save myself a few bucks.

 

If you remove the doubled area, would the mintmark be smaller than normal? An RPM is a separate punch of the MM, so if you remove the doubled part of the RPM you will still be left with a normal-sized mintmark. Otherwise, if you remove the doubling and the mintmark is smaller, it is MD or PMD.

 

I would think so especially if it is a raised area like the MM. PMD can also be intentional.

 

So based on what ur saying, it looks to me as though it is a rpm. Is that what ur thinking?

If I "take away" the doubling in my mind, it looks like the MM would be smaller than normal...so I would say MD.

 

Joe? In the poll you left out the option, 'Blast if I know'...........
