Uncirculated 1967 SMS Washington Quarter

Well I Finally decided to crack open this 1967 SMS set that I've been hording for a while now and low and behold I stumbled across this beautiful Gem and I could not believe my eyes ... I was truly amazed . So either this is a flawless DD specimen or this is some nice Multi-machine doubling as someone else called it ... but anyway as always I'll allow you guys to tell me what you think it is ?

Flat shelf like, all in one direction = classic MD

 

MD

 

It does look a little flat and shelf like from those angels . So let me take some with better angels

 

These are the same pics he already posted earlier in a thread asking if the coin had machine doubling. https://www.cointalk.com/threads/machine-doubling-doubled-die-or-both.301804/

 

Oops. I'm wrong lol. SMS Didn't know what that means at first

I've looked around the edges of the devices and see no doubling. I do see a lot of die deterioration

 

Smart man cwart ... So you've actually figured out my little secret all by yourself . Lol

 

I don't see any signs of this being a doubled die but we could just call it that if that is what you want to hear.

 

When posting multiple photos of same or similar coins, you will get less confusing answers if you space them by a line or 3 and add a number between them for reference such as below.

Photo 1: 1909-S RPM-002 S/S Horizontal


Photo #2 Same as above, but higher magnification


Just a suggestion. Jim

 

@desertgem
Is that your coin? .....

 

Yes, for many years. Jim

 

sweet!! how much did you pay for it? or did you find it?

 

I sometimes just like to get other people's opinions and input as is the case here ... But I certainly hope that I'm not committing a coin talk crime by doing so . Because If so then I do apologize as that is certainly not my intention .

 

it looks to me like he said it was just his suggestion! lol

 

Oh and here are better angels showing that the edges are not flat and shelf like at all ... I guess that angels of the photo made them appear to be flat and shelf like but from a closer Photo from the side you can actually see the roundness of the strike...

 

And I didn't know Tyler ... Sometimes I don't know when it's safe to joke or safe to do things . Lol

 

It doesn't matter how many angles you take. It's MD in every one.

Look at the difference. WDDO-002 is a SMS DDO. Note there are 2 separate but full sets of letters overlapping. It is blatantly obvious your coin is not a doubled die.

It's especially evident on the letters R U and G

 

Well I noticed that someone mentioned that they were flat and shelf like when they aren't so I just wanted to point that out

 

And if you say it's MD then it's MD it is
