Hello all, it's been a minute since I have been on, just want you all to take a look at this reverse of Vera Rubin quarter. Possible DDR The A in dollar looks to be doubled, which is different as it is on a lower design of the coin than the level of the original A hear is a normal A
So, going through the mint roll, I have found 3 in total of this post, and 9 coins with an obverse die gouge from the W to the G
I don't think that it is doubled or repunched. It looks like die deterioration doubling and not worth any premium.
I believe the recessed area under the “A” is responsible for that look as it’s recessed. It’s part of her Neckerchief. There are several ads for it being a doubled die and some claims exist that there is doubling on the obverse as well.
@Collecting Nut The ring that goes around Vera Rubin looks as is recessed, the A is not recessed, and the ddr in? The 2ed A has depth to it, so it's higher than the recessed part. Those photos were from my phone. Here is the scope. This looks like doubled to me .. So, have there been others on this? Could you give links
@Bill in Burl, where did repuched come into this post, and this definitely doesn't look like deterioration.
The A/DOLLAR appears to be Class VIII, Tilted Hub doubling. Yes to the obverse die gouge, but I see nothing else of import. Class VIII is a very common occurrence, most have only a small value like $5.00 if in AU range. Coins that show stronger doubling or multiple doublings would cause more interest and subsequently, increased value. Not everyone cares to collect Class VIII and stick to the traditional classes of doubling before the advent and employment of single-squeeze hubbing beginning around circa 1990. I have personally found approx. 20 of this class in the past 5 years or so, mostly zinc Lincolns but 1 nickel and 1 dime.
This. The current iteration of "doubling" is pretty much the same as worthless machine doubling on a coin, except that it's on a die. I guess it's something to collect from pocket change, but there's so many of them it's hard to get excited about it.
Not only small value, but if you take any 2006 cent, Philly or Denver, and look for a doubling match on Wexler you will be cured of searching Class VIII by the time you finish. There are literally hundreds. So, now when I run across a 2006 cent I flip it for heads/tails…heads I research, tails I don’t. When it is tails I’ve lost…but I’m relieved I don’t have to search through all those hundreds of varieties so in reality I’ve won. This is The World According to Spark ( don’cha know ).
2009 is another year with hundreds…I just went through those with an Early Childhood I had since 2015 that I somehow had missed checking…so I knuckled down and checked it against all those listed…all the Class VIII stuff on the cabin log ends #1 through #12… 2009 is another year I cringe over. If my friends ask me to check those for them I refer them to Wexler…they can do their own homework! “Oh, gee…can I Google that for you?”. Yours truly…Spark
I could have sworn 2006 was a typo, since 2009 is my go-to example, but you're right, 2006 has almost 140 of them. How on earth does anybody distinguish between a WDDR-081 and a WDDR-082? (https://doubleddie.com/731934.html) Funny how the mint tried to eliminate doubled dies and created this monster instead.
