Hello coin talk . Well to get right to the point . I'm sure that most Coin Collectors here have already heard of the highly sought after Doubled die 1976 - D Washington Quarter that has visible doubling only on the word LIBERTY . However the question of the day is . Has anyone ever seen or heard of a 1776 - 1976 no mint mark DDO Washington Quarter with a Doubled Date ??? Or how about a TRIPLE struck Doubled Die 2017 Ozark Riverways Quarter ??? Well If not then I believe that its safe to say that I may have actually discovered the very first and only one of their kind .... So please feel free to share your thoughts and let me know what you guys think . Thanks
The 1976 quarter is machine doubling. The UNUM tripling has some interesting doubling. The A in Ozark is a possible hit by a took on the die, similar to the high leaf, low leaf quarters
Here's a good article on the ATB . http://numismaster.com/ta/numis/Article.jsp?ad=article&ArticleId=17345
You should create your thread on the Error Coins forum You should create 2 separate threads for each coin in question I don't see any discovery.
Well thanks alot for the interesting input you guys ... But I guess the only way that I will know for certain is after I send them in for grading . Especially since the Raised Doubling is so strong and so apparent . Infact I also think that the intials are even Doubled which means if the intials are Doubled then it can't be ATB right .... And I probably just need to take some better pictures . Because so Far I've gotten Machine Doubling , Die Deterioration and even Strike Doubling from a few other people in other coin circles on the 1976 Washington coin . So I think it's safe to say that I probably just need to leave it up to the experts because I'm getting way too many different professional answers . Lol
Welcome to the forum Jewels. The last one looks like a doubled die, some one here can help refer you to the correct attribution. As for the bicentennial quarter, you would need better pics to show any split serif's, the doubling looks flat and shelf like, making it Machine doubling. There also isn't any sharpness to the devices, which is a sign of DDD. Both DDD and MD can be present on a struck coin. The Ozark quarter has incuse MD or strike doubling as in the article that Rick posted, I would hate to see you spend money on a 25 cent coin, and have it come back as nothing. Good luck! you might contact Wiles or Wexler and check with them first. or @mikediamond @Fred Weinberg.
On this Homestead quarter...This is one of the better doubled dies for this coin with the pump handle doubled. It also appears you have doubling of the window pane. Before you invest any serious money in having any coin slabbed, check for prices on Ebay once you have been able to attribute it on Wexler's site www.doubleddie.com. If it is not there yet, you may have a discovery coin, which you can send to him a lot cheaper than to a TPG to have it attributed. Please realize that current doubled die coins are only worth what the market will allow for as there are no set prices for these coins.
I agree with the above. The doubling looks flat and shelf-like. Try better photos, but I am of the belief that none are die doubling. Save your $.
Thet will grade it with no indication if its a variety or error. You need to get it attributed which costs more money. But I still say you have no discoveries there.
Bingo! And agreed in regards to the first two. I believe Paddy was mostly referencing the two initial coins based mostly upon the quoted post. That said, very kind of you to attribute it for him (the OP).
Well I'll be sure to keep all our experts and everyone posted on what the results are on the two coins I send in . And to Tommyc03 I think that I looked at the WDDR-005 and the strange thing is it's very similar to that coin but the Doubling in the window and pump on my coin are both ATTACHED TOGETHER and have strong Doubling and on the one cited there they are NOT TOUCHING and the Doubling in the window is only partial ... so does this mean this is actually the original one of that variety or could it just be a NEW DISCOVERY ?
Treashunt ... I somewhat agree with you on the Ozark Quarter . Because what no one has noticed or even mentioned . Is that in the last image that I posted upside down the tree branch under the A is actually continuing ontop of the rim of the coin and is actually pointing directly at the letter A where it shouldn't be ... Hmmm ?
It could be the same DDR but also be a different die stage of the same coin. Best to send to John Wexler as that is the cheapest way overall, before you send to a TPG and spend a lot of money, only to find that it is one and the same. If not yet reported and recognized as a discovery, you would be footing a bill for a lot of money needlessly. Once verified as different or even a later die stage then that would be the time to send to a TPG. IMHO.
I hear that tommyc03 ... And I greatly appreciate the input . I'll keep you guys posted on what I find out . Thanks .
Well as promised you guys I said that more cool coin finds would be coming soon ... And so true to my word well here it is ... And this is just a few
